Chapter Nine. First Steps in PerlNET
This chapter opens the gate into the exciting world of programming Perl within the .NET environment. We start our journey with simple program examples. You will learn how to compile and run PerlNET programs. The new statements that make Perl to the .NET Framework interaction easy to use are introduced. After discussing PerlNET program structure and the use of namespaces, we demonstrate how to incorporate the input and output .NET classes into our programs. Finally, we present the full example program, which involves user interaction and shows how to bring into use Perl-specific constructions inside the .NET environment.
