I have thought about a name change as it evolves, but Apache::ASP's naming weakness is also its strength. Because it is already a well known platform, it allows those that would not know better a first glimpse at open source & perl when they may have never had the opportunity otherwise. Granted for us die hard perl geeks, it may be a deterrent, but I do try to get the message out. So do your part & spread the word! Write some articles about it for perl.com, present at perl/OSS conferences, talk it up at your local PM chapter. :) > That said, I'll probably be posting some questions soon, trying to learn the > "style" needed for good ASP and mod_perl programming. Any good reading before > I start to ask questions? :) The long awaited Style Guide is finally here: http://www.apache-asp.org/style.html I just wrote it. I have been meaning to for quite a while, but you gave me just the kick I needed, thanks! I also have some other bits at http://www.apache-asp.org , in particular some conference presentations at http://www.apache-asp.org/resources.html#Presentation92f96031 may be of help.
