    of course
    `fortran.program`; #or system(fortran.program); #or even use Shell; $ENV{PATH}.=':/path/to'; fortran_prog();

    I would like to ask a related question: Could someone embed FORTRAN code using the XS/SWIG technique? Since gcc (as I understand it) has a FORTRAN back-end, it could compile fortran to a library just as easily as C, right?

    How might this work?
