+SUMMARY = "An interpreter of object-oriented scripting language"
+DESCRIPTION = "Ruby is an interpreted scripting language for quick \
+and easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to process \
+text files and to do system management tasks (as in Perl). \
+It is simple, straight-forward, and extensible. \
