C# and active states PerlCOM

[mdupont]

Dear Monk,

Maybe you have experience with PerlCom a Com object that contains perl.

Following is attempt at C# code to access the PerlCom Com lib via the .NET dynamic dispatch reflection interface.

I am getting a MissingMethodException exception, can you please advise if I am doing something wrong?

 
PerlCOMLib.PerlCOMClass Perl = new PerlCOMLib.PerlCOMClass(); 
Perl.EvalScript ("sub test{ return 1;};"); 
Type t = Perl.GetType(); 

Object ret = null;                      
try 
{ 
        t.InvokeMember( 
                        "test", 
                        System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, 
                        null, 
                        ret, 
                        null); 

        // print the result 
        textBoxResult.Text = ret.ToString()     ; 

        } 
        catch (System.MissingMethodException mme) { 

                // print the result 
                textBoxResult.Text = mme.ToString()     ; 
        }

With out seeing the perl code, I can't give you any advice.

Although, you may want to try perlNET from active state (it is included in the devkit). I've personally used it, and while there are a few issues, it works resonably well (definitely easier to integrate with C#).

Sorry but the perl code was there.

It is just really small.

Perl.EvalScript ("sub test{ return 1;};");
