Looking at Visual Perl, it doesn't look like it generates .NET code; it's "just" a perl editor that plugs into Visual Studio .NET. It does look like a heck of a NICE editor, though.

The part that does seem to connect up to .NET somehow seems to be the Perl Dev Kit, which may or may not be included with Visual Perl. That part looks cheaper, but $195 is probably more than you want to spend...

I don't think you're likely to find a free alternative though. Activestate is home to a lot (I think) of the Win32 perl developers, and I think this was a pretty big project for them. It probably wouldn't be very easy to do for someone as a "side job"...
