Subject: How do I get a name translation for a symbolic link inside Ruby?

So I have the results of the shell command:

ln -s 20090317 latest

But I only know about 'latest'.  How do I get the 20090317?  I know I can do it 
executing the shell and bringing in the string, but it seems there must be a 
method in Ruby, right?
