What is the limitation of PerlNet?

Question

I used PerlNet for a data mining project. Perl is a powerful language for extracting data and processing text using the huge CPAN module. However, my program needs some kind of user interface, a thread ... which I decided to use .NET C #. With the Perl Dev Kit, we have the ability to wrap the Perl module in a .NET DLL and use this DLL directly from C #.

Everything was fine, but I have one question about PerlNet architecture. As far as I know, PerlNet was a research project between ActiveState and Microsoft to run Perl code in .NET, but I did not find for this document.

What is the PerlNet limitation? How did PerlNet build?

Thanks, Min.

Answer 1

There you can find the book Perl Programming in the .NET Environment .

ActiveState does not seem to have any public documentation on the Internet that provides any details about PerlNET. But I would be very surprised if there wasn’t any document included with the Perl Dev Kit, although it seems like they no longer support it.

You can find answers to your questions on the [e-mail] mailing list or in the archives.

Answer 2

While I can’t say more about how PerlNet is built than easily accessible, I’ll say that in my experience it’s quite clumsy and not very reliable.

If this is a "real" project, i.e. money, I will not use PerlNet.
