You can do $main::Request->Form from any perl package, or if you have GlobalPackage set to something like MyPackage, you can do $MyPackage::Request->Form. This inherently makes your package aware of ASP type variables, which might be bad design. You might better do something like &My::sub($Request->Form) when you call it from the ASP script in the first place. Request->Form is just a hash ref so is pretty ASP independent, and the params could come from anywhere.
