Maybe its because people keep ripping the MSF code instead of contributing
code back to the framework ...

No, i believe the real reason is purely practical. Ruby has the
flexibile and extensible OO language features that Perl cant
offer. And with the low number of contributing users, the move from Perl
to Ruby won't affect the development progress much.

If you were in Vegas this week, you would have seen skape and spoonm demo
some of the new functionality in msf3. I suggest you check out the slides
on the msf website when they're posted.

Hi,

I'm currently working on some kind of penetration framework. So far,
I've implemented the program in Perl. But recently I noticed the new
metasploit version will be implemented in Ruby instead of Perl. Can
someone tell me why this switch of language will be taken?

With kind regards,

Sebastiaan
