former php user trying to learn ruby...very tough

i write something in ruby thinking that it will work as it did in php but no!

i realized that you need to clone objects using .clone

merely associating to a variable doesn't work !

in php this worked fine!

it took 2 days until i discovered this error!

what tutorials can i read to get firm grasp on ruby ?!

I am a new Ruby user as well. What I did was build a web app first with Rails and then move into the Ruby core. This is the book I started with.

Beginning Ruby by Peter Cooper is a good option.
