Hi all,
we released today a new gem I think may be of general interest:
https://rubygems.org/gems/ruby-perl
For rubyists:
ruby-perl lets you evaluate and run Perl code within the same binary,
without any heavy-weight forking of sub-processes. Enjoy the
compactness, robustness and maintainability of Perl!
For perlists:
Run your Perl application over industry-standard, enterprise-grade MRI
Ruby, Rack and Passenger!
Check out the post on our blog for more background info:

Cheers,
Andrea

Can you send me (or better yet open an issue on github) with the output
of:
perl -V
Thanks for the bug report,
Andrea

I think I’ve fixed this issue, I would appreciate it if you could try
again.
Can you send me (or better yet open an issue on github) with the output of:
perl -V
And of course, once rperl is working for you, “rperl -V” will do the
trick too

Is anyone using ruby-perl in a Phuby on Phails application? I also need
to
interface with a CORBA service and was looking at the zomg gem. Has
anyone
managed to call out to an omfg-generated Ruby script from either
ruby-perl
or Phuby on Phails? I would preferably like to use both… perhaps
someone
can write a phzomg interface to omfg-generated IDL wrapped Ruby? How
would I
then call this with ruby-perl? rupephzomg?

Interesting questions and a clever naming convention.
I didn’t try Phuby on Phails (I should!), but we’re doing something
just as cool.
We use the ST package (ST: PERL package for simulation and test environment | IEEE Conference Publication | IEEE Xplore) for perl (nicknamed PeST),
and now with ruby-perl I can run it with JRuby, which spells out JeST.
