Ruby for system administration

[Hal Fulton]

I suspect that this is a tongue-in-cheek suggestion since renaming the
ruby executable to perl would break some things that might actually need perl.

Then rename it to Perl6.

sort of like sudo, but something like:

runas <name of program you want to show in process table> command

....not that I'm trying to promote subversiveness; just curious.

#! /usr/bin/ruby

$0 = 'perl'

loop do
do stuff
end

Then rename it to Perl6.

or... perl++ ?
(though this is obviously an unfair understatement to ruby !!)
