I was wondering: Perl and Ruby have many things in common, but what are the main differences between them? Which tasks would one use for each of the languages?

Mmm... Are there any important differences between them or does it truly come down to preference when using them?

They're both general purpose. It's just a matter of which you like better.
The thing about Ruby, however, is that it (At least from what little experience I have with it.) incorporates a lot of different programming styles (functional, logic, etc.) while Perl stays mainly imperative.
