Perl and VB Classic Cross Reference Guide

By Mike Prestwood

Perl versus VB Classic: A side by side comparison between Perl and VB Classic.

Perl

Version: This content is based on Perl 5 and tested using our web hosting server farm. The focus of this content is on server-side scripting.

This content focuses on topics in common among the languages documented here so nearly all this syntax applies to most Perl development environments as well as earlier versions of Perl.

Some of Perl's syntax will look similar to PHP but with significant differences.

VB Classic

Version:

This content is based on Microsoft Visual Basic 6.

This content focuses on topics in common among the languages documented here so this content most likely applies to earlier versions of Visual Basic too.

In addition, much of the VB Classic information presented here is in common with ASP Classic (with some notable differences) and MS Access (very closely). Finally, the syntax for VB.Net is based on VB so some of it even applies to VB.Net.
