He he - I am _very_ new to these tools myself. I discovered the SCSS 
declarative language few weeks ago and while hopefully the Perl parser 
matures (I packaged it and apparently it got approved few minutes ago), 
I am exploring other options to play with it.

I cannot hack Ruby.  But I cannot hack Haskell either and that didn't 
stop me from maintaining Pandoc, so perhaps I can dive in here as well 
(but you are right, I should probably avoid the temptation...)


Right now Compass 0.8 spews a lot of warnings about the templates using
outdated syntax.  Try for yourself:

   $ compass testproject

Also (possibly unrelated - tell me if I should file as a separate bug) 
compass fails completely to auto-update in the background:

   $ compass testproject
   $ compass --watch testproject
NoMethodError on line 18 of /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/compass/sass_extensions/monkey_patches/stylesheet_updating.rb: undefined method `dependency_updated?' for Sass::Plugin:Module
Run with --trace to see the full backtrace

"sass --watch" was broken too, until I recently: After I poked Gunnar 
and he updated it, --watch for sass itself works properly (it was some 
other error message, though, so possibly unrelated).
