Developing - a basic question

Hey all,

I'm wishing to do some development on the hp. I own a copy of visual studio (2002 or something like that), and I have windows mobile version 5. I found a JRE available for java apps and stuff, which I know java a bit better now than other tools but I had a few basic questions so I can decide the most efficient way to develop:

1. Can visual studio 2002 (or whichever one was one of the first ones) be used to develop on the pocket PC?

2. What other languages can be run on the Pocket PC? I saw Java and Perl so far.

3. How is running apps such as perl and java? I noticed there aren't any command line tools except some pretty expensive ones out there. Is accessing the command line worth it in the end, anyways?

4. About shortcuts...this is a less developer question, but lets say I made a perl application (command line) and wanted to execute it, by calling perl (perl file.pl) type of deal. Can that be setup to be done at all?

5. Say I developed a Visual Basic app (assuming #1 is true), and it runs on the PC - can I port it to the pocket PC pretty easily?

Any tutorial sites or anything, or other information would be great too. I really appreciate the help.

Thanks again

David
