We use pmq's quite a lot (mostly from Cobol !), and I originally built a Ruby PMQ class using syscall. This was clumsy, but it worked ok. At the time (3 or 4 years ago) , there was nothing available on posix message queues in Ruby, so I was a bit stuck. Specifing the numbers for syscall wasn't very portable or nice. Stangely enough, when I tried to access the mq_* routines via DL, (dlopen) I got crashes, so I gave up down that route, and decided to wait for someone to develop posix_mq :-)) I will let you know if I find any more problems with posix_mq after some more testing.
