PerlingTheUK has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Monks

I have a dialog written using the .NET Forms library. This dialog's purpose is to access and change a configuration file (using Simple::Config). This Module provides a reference to an instance representing the configuration file. The dialog works all right. Currently I create my configuration object, read in the values and set the text boxes appropriately. Then, when saving I again open the config file, set the values to whatever is in the boxes and overwrite them.

What I actually would prefer to do, is to include a reference to the Config::Simple in my .Net Form interface. Unfortunately something like
=for interface [extends: Form] [STAThread] static void Main(); ... private field perlref m_refConfig; =cut
does not exist.
I am trying to find a nicely way to work around this, but did not find any "elegant" way to do so. Has anyone a nice suggestion? Are there any websites approaching .NET and Perl that give me more in depth insught on approaching this?

Cheers,
PerlingTheUK
