ActiveState releases Visual Perl 1.0 for Visual Studio.NET Beta 2

It is our pleasure to announce the release of Visual Perl 1.0 for
Visual Studio.NET Beta 2.

With this release, Visual Perl offers a complete Perl software

- Redoing indentation on existing code (aka 'pretty-printing')

- Code folding

- Configurable syntax-based colorizing

- Incremental search, forward and reverse


Integration with the ActiveState Perl Dev Kit (PDK) has been greatly
improved, and includes the following:

- Specialized wizards generate boilerplate code for PerlCtrl and
  PerlSvc

- The Visual Studio Build command can be used to create PerlApp,
PerlCtrl, and PerlSvc components within the IDE

- Build configuration options are specified in the UI


Visual Perl provides a source-code control interface that works with
both CVS and Visual SourceSafe.


Visual Perl offers a powerful debugging experience,
including the following features:

- Graphical management of breakpoints

- Hovering over variables

- Drilling down into complex data structures

- Ability to evaluate arbitrary expressions in a "Watch" window

ActiveState to sponsor Perl Whirl '02

ActiveState is pleased to announce our sponsorship of
Perl Whirl '02, a seven-day cruise/conference through the
Eastern Caribbean.

Perl Whirl '02 is everything you're looking for in a conference,
from stimulating seminars by the top names in the field
(including Larry Wall, Nat Torkington, Lincoln Stein, Damian Conway,
and Randal Schwartz), to relaxation, adventure, and family time.

The luxury ship will sail from Ft. Lauderdale, FL on
January 12, 2002, with stops in the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, and
the Virgin Islands, before returning to Ft. Lauderdale on January 19.

Along the way, you can attend 2.5 days (24 hours) of top-flight
Perl classes taught by the experts -- plus, a Q&A with Larry Wall.

Cruise activities include a Perl Quiz Show; in San Juan, a tour of
the Bacardi Rum plant and a pub crawl in Old San Juan; a movie
festival, cocktail parties, and more.

For more details, please see the downloadable PDF available at:
http://www.geekcruises.com/pdf/PerlWhirl_02.pdf

Drop Geek Cruises' Captain & CEO Neil Bauman an email at
neil at geekcruises.com if you'd like a hardcopy of this 8-page brochure.

Hope to see you there!
