How can I pass arguments/variables in VB.NET to PERL?
I can start my PERL program with process.start method but I need to pass something to it.

You'd pass them on the commandline, using the StartInfo property of the Process object.

You'd fill out a ProcessStartInfo object (it has an Arguments property where you'd add your parameters), then set it to the StartInfo property on the Process object, then call Start.

Thanks for the tip Chip.

here's how I accomplished it.

Dim proc As New Process
' Provide the name of the application or file.
proc.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\usr\print-arg.plx"
' Specify the arguments.
Dim myVar As String = "From VB.NET to PERL. THIS IS SO COOL!"

' we can set this to text box input from form
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = myVar
' Start the process.
proc.Start()
