As it is widely known, Perl is very good at integrating with different SDKs and even different languages.
Inline::* set of modules proves my point.

Sometimes this is done for performance reasons (speed up tight loops using C) or mostly to enrich capabilities of existing set.
After such integration even Visual Basic is not that annoying to deal with!

A question:
Does anyone uses Perl+Ruby and if so, what are benefits from such pair?

Has anyone an experience or thoughts to share?

PS Actually "ruby" subdir exists in distribution of current Perl6 development branch, in "languages" subdir. That is why I became wondering.
