Thanks. That's been really informative. I don't have any knowledge
of ASP ('normal' or otherwise). I am interested in designing a web
site incorporating a database and noticed my host supported
Apache::ASP. (I am also looking at PHP)
I guess my host would have to install the patch to make Apache::ASP
recognize VBScript?
Are there WYSIWYG editors around that handle PerlScript? (Windows or
Linux) Or do have to learn to write code in PerlScript?
