in reply to Perl compiler for .NET - anyone knows anything about it?

That link went to here. It's the page at activestate where they show their various products. Among them are visual Perl and visual Python, both referred to as "development environment plug-ins". HTH

    Yes I know where link takes you - but look closer in your browser's bar when you put mouse over the link (or check the html sourse code).

    It's completely different URL than one you end up with. And in fact you never see that Research is mentioned on that page...

    I know about those plug-ins for MS VS - and I've tried the Visual Perl. Somehow it's not standard MS VS (I worked with C# - still have to pass exam on my university) nor it's Perl. Feels a bit strange.

    I much more liked their Komodo - but even it needs few things solved to be excellent.

      You're right - I hadn't caught that... sorry.

      It's pretty standard, that if you're going to re-organize sections of your web page, that you set up redirection, so that the moved items don't generate 404 errors.

      The fact that the URL isn't the one in the link isn't that big of a deal. If you really want to know where it used to go to, you can always try the Wayback Machine from The Internet Archive:

      http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.activestate.com/Products/Perl_Dev_Kit/

      This won't work if the site had a robots.txt at the time, that denied spidering of the site, but in this case, there are multiple versions available.
