Hi, I was wondering if anyone on this list had a Windows box + Mono + Perl that could try out my Perl interpreter bindings for C#[1]. Basically I wanted access to all the useful utilities out there on CPAN[2] that aren't yet available in managed code or in the standard class libraries. The distribution gives a sample IMAP client using Mail::IMAPClient.
It works on Linux (Gentoo & SuSE 9) and seems to work OK on OS X with a little munging of the library names and modulo mono-wierdness wrt exceptions (yes I know about mint...). I'd ideally like it to work on Windows as well, then it could be a truly cross-platform way of getting lots of functionality into C# for 'free'. I've based the build system on Gtk#. For those that just want to look at how easy it is to embed Perl using the powerful features of C# take a look at the IMAP example[3]. C# really does make this nice, a lot nicer than the Perl C API! For example Scalars are auto-boxed to the approriate fundamental types (int, double, string).
