Subject: [ruby-talk:8366] Perl module for Ruby? (English docs?)

I happened to come across this page:

http://www.yoshidam.net/Ruby.html

Where I found the following:

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
   Perl module

     This is the extension module to use the functions of Perl from Ruby.
This version may be fairly good.

            version 0.2.7 download 
            Document (sorry, Japanese only) 
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
If it's what I think it is, this could be pretty useful for calling legacy
perl code from Ruby.

I downloaded it and tried to compile it, but got the following message:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgdbm

I'm compiling under Linux and I did install libgdbm on my system, but it
didn't help.

Anyway, has anyone used this module?  Are there any English docs?

Phil
