Product Description
Product Description
With Perl.NET it is now possible to use and create .NET components and to wrap existing Perl modules so that they are available to all .NET compliant languages. Perl.NET enables you to enjoy both worlds - .NET and Perl. By combining their features you'll have an ability to develop powerful robust components that may be reused in other .NET applications. This book provides many programs that illustrate features of Perl and .NET. The programs are clearly labeled in the text, and they are available through the associated Web site. There is also a case study that illustrates many features of Perl and .NET working together in combination, as they would in a practical application. The authors show you how to use .NET classes in Perl programs and how to create .NET components using Perl. Important .NET classes are surveyed, and there is coverage of using .NET in specific areas, including graphical user interfaces, database programming using ADO.NET, XML, ASP.NET and Web services. Also, in the appendix "C# Survival Guide" you will see how Perl interoperates with .NET languages, using C#, the language designed for .NET, as an example.

Programming Perl in the .Net Environment
30 Dec 2002
Format:Paperback
This book was not only extremely valuable to me in understanding how to use Perl in the .Net Environmental, but also contains the best presentation of how to build pure Perl Modules that I have read to date. These concepts really jelled for me after reading and utilizing the examples presented in the book.
With my limited experience in object oriented programming, this book presented the topics in the right order to overcome my lack of OO experience.
I did have a few instances of failing to find specific terms in the index.
This book will continue to be a valuable resource as I continue to refine my Perl skills in creating perl modules and utilizing Perl in the .Net environment.

Programming Perl in the .NET Environment
10 July 2003
Format:Paperback
Love Perl but wish it had the ability to work with the .NET framework? Well, this is the book for you! Let me tell you, if you program with Perl, then this book will earn its purchase price again and again. I've always loved the ease of programming in Perl, especially how well it works with sockets and network programming, but these days, you've got to be able to program Graphical User Interfaces. I've never been able to master programming GUI's using Tcl/Tk, but the C# like format of programming Visual Perl made creating Windows Forms a snap. The book gives so many examples of working with the .NET classes in any practical situation. Its got a great format including a discussion of programming with the .NET framework, a strong overview of programming in Perl, and of course the definitive guidelines to programming in PerlNET. It covers creating your own classes, components, forms, database interaction, and working with ASP.NET. It also gives an overview of working with the CPAN modules which is invaluable. The authors are intelligent, well-spoken, and are clearly experts in this particular area. You have GOT to buy this book!

Strange mix - comes up quite well
23 Oct 2002
Format:Paperback
Can you mix Perl and Dot.NET ??
I didn't think so till now.
I didn't think so till now.
I found the mix of Perl and Dot.NET quite strange - that's why I was surprise to see a book on that matter.
I felt very curious to see how can it work together.
Perl has lots of advantages that make it such an enormous success - very easy to write fast and efficient code.
Ask any unix admin / programmer.
The way Perl works with the rich options of Microsoft's new engine is good. I like the combination. It works well, the examples are quite good.
The first part of the book looks similar to every Dot.NET one can find, but the second part is the value for this book - and that's why I liked it.
Good techinal explainations and examples.
It was a good investment for me.
