Is perlapp the "same" as plc

Would there be any difference if an application is built with plc instead och perlapp (appart from the ability to use dotNet-objects)?
Any drawbacks?
thanks

.NET objects are the biggest difference

Hi Anders,

The biggest difference between PerlApp and plc is the ability to use .NET objects with plc. I'm not aware of any disadvantages if your code is using .NET functionality. If it's not, then it might be slight overkill.

Something to check before making your decision would be the release notes and known issues for the PDK. This will list any known problems that may be different between PerlApp and PerlNET.

Cheers,
