Ruby and Rails are well documented:

http://ruby-doc.org/

Considering the last edition was published in 2007 I would rather have 
seen a new Perl Cookbook, Object-Oriented Perl or, better still, some 
new titles on specific applications of Perl, eg. Perl for Android (ok, 
ok but you get my drift), Perl REST APIs or Web Development with 
Dancer/Mojolicious.
