Subject: Use Perl modules from Ruby ?

Hi Ruby-Community :)

I was looking for a way to talk to a Perl module from Ruby directly to 
use its classes, methods or functions. However, it seems there is no 
up2date/maintained Ruby/Perl binding ? I have found the "Perl module for 
Ruby" (http://www.yoshidam.net/perl_en.txt), but his website states it 
is no longer maintained and also it seems not like an offical thing 
available in Rubyforge.

I am aware of %x{ ... } to run scripts and stuff, but what I really want 
is to use some legacy Perl modules which are too big to convert 
completely into Ruby.

Any ideas, suggestions and tips ? My search so far was pretty boring. 
Seems like not many people would like to do this ?

Thank you and best regards!

PS: Sorry if I am just stupid and not aware of a obvious thing available 
in Ruby. I am new to the language and might not have seen "THE WAY" to 
go ;)
