Perl and DotNet

j.goor has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks, I am investigating the possibilities of the interconnection of .Net and Perl. Thusfar I have found the ActiveState PerlNet, but I know there was also another option, a free limited API I believe. This API made it possible to use .Net from Perl. Anyone who knows this API and also where I can find it? Also I would like to know other options for connecting Perl and DotNet. Thanx!

Check out Calling .NET Assemblies with Win32::OLE which may be the "other option" you are looking for.	[reply]

The third possibility may be mono, which claims "Mono provides the necessary software to develop and run .NET client and server applications on Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, Windows, and Unix." emc At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation. —Igor Sikorsky, reported in AOPA Pilot magazine February 2003.	[reply]

On the other hand, cooperation of .NET code (CLR) running on mono and perl might even be more difficult, because there is no COM support with mono, not even on Windows. It would be interesting to learn, which features of PerlNET are usable in conjunction with mono.	[reply]
