As both Ruby and Perl developer, well Ruby took a lot from Perl.

Just today I used with it grep,
To rewrite regex from slash to something else:

%r|^hello/|i
it's a native syntax :)

you have %qq %QQ etc... BEGIN and END, and the list goes on and on ...

It's much easier to to move from Perl to Ruby, then to Python for example :)
