If so - how?<br /> If not - is there another way to do it (except with the dotNet-module)?<br /> thanks<br /> Anders</p> <p><cite>As far as I can tell, the main difference is that "dotNET for Perl" only<br /> allows you to _use_ .NET objects, just like e.g. Win32::OLE allows you to<br /> use<br /> COM objects from Perl. PerlNET (part of the Perl Dev Kit) does this too,<br /> but<br /> it also support _implementing_ .NET objects written in Perl. With PerlNET<br /> you<br /> can just[*] define an interface for a CPAN module and then use that CPAN<br /> module from any other .NET language.</p> <p>Cheers,<br /> -Jan<br /> </cite></p> http://community.activestate.com/forum-topic/is-it-possible-to-use-dot#comments PDK discussion Windows XP Pro Wed, 28 Feb 2007 05:20:52 -0600 andersb 524 at http://community.activestate.com
