Meta-magic rods & spell-like abilities

[Silh]

I just randomly thought about this and wondered if someone here on the forums could help.

Is it possible to use a meta-magic rod in conjunction with a spell-like ability? I'm not sure why a character would, but stranger things have happened in this game.

"Metamagic rods hold the essence of a metamagic feat, allowing the user to apply metamagic effects to spells (but not spell-like abilities ) as they are cast."

So I'd say no.
