New Ruby Article

[Mark Wilson]

I found the following article published a few days ago:

http://linux.oreillynet.com/pub/a/linux/2003/09/18/ruby_csv.html

As pointed out in the comments, using the optparse class and related
modules would reduce the code length of the example.

I recently wrote a series of articles on a similar topic:

Using the OptionParser Library -

This was mentioned on the list not long ago.

I haven't read it thoroughly, but I noticed that most of the code was
horribly un-Rubyish. It could be made a lot nicer. If I had time,
I'd rewrite it all and submit it to the author!

Looks like some good reading.
