I use to develop in VB and .NET but I moved to linux so I need that change
This is a non-Perl solution, but you might consider
lookin into Java.
Java is in many respects inferior to Perl (what isn't?),
but it is still a much better language than VB, and it
is particularly good for creating graphical user
interfaces, which is Perl's biggest weakness, and
which I presume is most of what you're interested in
doing if you were formerly using VB.
The freeness (in the Stallmanesque sense) of Java
is a subject of some debate, but if your main interest
is in not needing to pay money, it will fit that bill
nicely, from what I am given to understand.
