[BioRuby] concatenate two EMBL sequence files

Hello all,

I'm trying to concatenate two EMBL files (_with_ features) into one larger sequence. Of course, positions of features of the second sequence have to recalculated in the new sequence.
e.g.:
  sequence 1 = 100 bp
    feature A: 5..10
  sequence 2 = 200 bp
    feature B: 15..20
  => concatenated sequence 3 = 300 bp
       feature A: 5..10
       feature B: 115..120

I'd like to write out the new sequence as an EMBL file.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Many thanks.

A possible perl-convert,
