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

I want to use an API where the manual says this API can be called from any .NET programming language (e.g. C#, C++/CLI, Visual Basic .NET).
Can this API be called by a Perl application?
If so is there any I need to know before it will work and is there any information or simple examples to shown how this can be done?

    1. Almost certainly yes.
    2. Probably
    3. It would help us to answer with more precision and specificity if you were to name the API/ap.

    You may find either this or this might be of use ... the bad news is that the former is Activestate specific and the good news is that the principle recommendations of the latter are, IMHO, ably supported by this O'Reilly publication.

    A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))

    Why not write a minimal program to test the question?

      I will. Am I likely to need to 'use' a specifc Perl module?/
