Call a perl Module from ruby code?

I know i'm walking into a big pile of cow manure with this question from all the other questions and answers I've seen but I've got my hip boots on.

At the company I work for, there are about a decade and a half worth of perl libraries that are used constantly to make scripting easier for testers and other people.

In my mind, since Perl "compiles" down to c and Ruby does, too, it seems there would be a way to call the modules from ruby after the modules have been compiled down to C.

Of course, judging by the answers I've seen here and elsewhere that's an incredibly naive viewpoint. Could someone help me understand why I can't or how I would go about doing this?

ruby-perl exists.

I offer no guarantees as to its usefulness.

Inline::Ruby is the inverse.
