Things you might want to know: a) Perl itself is hosted with Git [1] and mirrored to GitHub [2] b) Major projects like Moose are also hosted in git c) Tools like Git::CPAN::Patch [3] allow you to 'gitify' any module on CPAN. I'm not sure there's similar tools for mercurial (I'm sure they wouldn't be hard to write, but they don't exist yet) Under the same logic you'll probably want to use Git if you use Ruby too. Note this is a purely "What everyone else is doing" argument. You may want to also consider features of the systems as well! Mark.
