these must backquotes like in:

puts `perl test.pl`

when you want to write a new perl script, then do it directly in ruby
instead.  integrating a big perl script that you don't want to rewrite
seems to me the only case where call integration like this is appropriate.
what features are there in perl that you miss in ruby?

in perl script (from memory):

print $ARGV[0] + 1, "\n";
