Re: Windows GUI for Perl Script

I successfully made applications that consist of a VB.NET-GUI and a compiled Perl-DLL as the backend, using PerlNET.
A similar approach would also work for VB6 and PerlCtrl. However none of these compilers are available for free.

Actually you can do this entirely with freely available components if you can do without the GUI designer tools in Visual studio, the VB.Net is available in the free to download .NET Framework SDK from which you can build your interface and you can create Windows Scripting Components using Perl as described in Re: Creating a COM/OLE server, Personally I would go with C# rather than VB.Net but that's a matter of taste I guess. /J\	[reply]

Thanks to all who replied. I am not really supposed to install anything at all, and so additional resources such as VB.NET et al are not good options, but I am reading up on Perl/Tk, and I am getting what I need. Thanks again!	[reply]
