in reply to Perl for Visual studio C# or C++

I'm assuming, like nefigah, that you want to use Visual Studio as a Perl-targeted IDE. I didn't know about Visual Perl (which seems quite neat), but another option for a Windows Perl IDE is Active State's Komodo (http://www.activestate.com/Products/komodo_ide/index.mhtml, not free)

As a side note, if you were looking to upgrade your Visual Studio Express to Standard, you might want to hit one of Microsoft's launch events for Visual Studio 2008 (and SQL Server and Server). For attending you get a license for the standard version, and the developer sessions were okay when I went. Link: http://www.microsoft.com/heroeshappenhere/default.mspx

    And there's the venerable Eclipse, a multi-language IDE, with the EPIC Perl plugin.

    Komodo Edit is free!

    It is not a full blown IDE, but it has nice enough features, so it is really worth its money.

There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
