Found the following answer from Jan on comparing the dotNet-module with PerlNET...
Is it possible to use dotNet objects directly from a Perl script without "compiling" it with "plc"? If so - how?
If not - is there another way to do it (except with the dotNet-module)?
thanks
Anders

As far as I can tell, the main difference is that "dotNET for Perl" only
allows you to _use_ .NET objects, just like e.g. Win32::OLE allows you to
use
COM objects from Perl. PerlNET (part of the Perl Dev Kit) does this too,
but
it also support _implementing_ .NET objects written in Perl. With PerlNET
you
can just[*] define an interface for a CPAN module and then use that CPAN
module from any other .NET language.
