There are some library scripts accompanies with the ruby installation,  
but regarding the plenty library resource of ohter script language such  
as perl and python, those are not enough.  
Can any one tell me where I can find more library resources of ruby?  
Thanks!

The two standard places:

[http://raa.ruby-lang.org/](http://raa.ruby-lang.org/)  
[http://rubyforge.org/](http://rubyforge.org/)

You’ll want to install rubygems[1], if you don’t have it already. Then,  
if you see something you like on rubyforge,org, you can just install it  
with:

gem install lib-that-you-like

(assuming that the package is distributed as a gem).
