Hi all, we released today a new gem I think may be of general interest: https://rubygems.org/gems/ruby-perl https://github.com/zephirworks/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: http://blog.zephirworks.com/47768566 Cheers, Andrea
