So far I had to This was my feeling before developing it :) Back in '98, there was only Embperl as a good embedded solution, but it did not have built in $Session support, as Apache::Session was still on the drawing board.

There is an asp.config file that you can use to for configuration instead of PerlSetVar settings. > PS: The slower execution of the CGI script (compared to mod_perl) should > not be a problem as it is a rather small site with not so much traffic... > That's good, because it is really slow... I got something like 3 hits per sec with it on a dual pIII-450. Its slow because to compile all the Apache::ASP code for each request is quite a lot to do. If your provider keeps track of the CPU you use on the shared host, you might burn through it pretty fast. --Josh _________________________________________________________________ Joshua Chamas Chamas Enterprises Inc.
