Using Perl and VB

[mrperfect62]

Is it possible to use Perl and Visual Basic together? If it is, how? I want to embed a perl program in a VB program, or better still, get VB to read certain output from the Perl program.
Any assistance will be highly appreciated.

Joe,

Perl can create data, and VB can read data, and vice versa. You only need to agree on the format of the data so that the VB will know what its doing when the data is read in.

As far as running a perl script from within VB, this can be done using the shell command, but perl would have to be installed on the machine, unless you're using Perl2exe, in which case you shell the exe
