Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: What do you think about ActiveState's Visual Perl .NET??

My understanding of these matters is that if you write .NET specific code then there is no reason to expect cross-platform compatibility. So I dont see that its a sham. Its kindof like writing code that uses System V IPC rouines and expecting it to run on a Win32 box.

Im sure that when Microsoft said portability they meant from one Win32 Box to another ;-)

And you dont really believe anything that MS says anyway do you?

No, I don't believe Microsoft. But others tend to believe their marketing message. Which is a good reason to point out discrepancies between reality and what Microsoft claims in their marketing.
