I'm afraid Apache::ASP won't work for you (at least, not like you expect it to).
You see, your example here is VBScript and Apache::ASP only works with PerlScript - that's what it's called on the IIS/Windows world.
Of course, if
a) Your apache was running on Windows (personally I think apache-1.3.x on Windows is a Bad Idea for production).
-> Then you could create a ``WinHttp'' object using Win32::OLE
b) You're prepared to write Perl (platform does not concern us in this case)
-> You could achieve similar (or even better!) functionality using the standard LWP::UserAgent and/or HTTP::Request modules.
As far as the second question is converned:
If indeed apache and mod_perl are set-up, then it should be just a trivial matter of :
perl -MCPAN -e'install Apache::ASP'
input in your shell and then modifying your httpd.conf to activate the new functionality.

Hello,
I am really at the baby step level regarding servers, apache, etc. However, I have the need to be able to run ASP pages on our linux/apache server so I am considering the Apache::ASP. Since our server is running some critical applications, I really need to know what types of problems I can run into installing and using Apache::ASP. But, before I get into those questions, I should confirm that I will be able to do what I need to do first.
First Question:
We need to be able to do an http post from a .asp page to another server. My programmer has asked me to confirm that we can run the following line (obviously in addition to other lines of code as well, but this is the one he is most concerned with):
Set objWinHttp = Server.CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5")
More Questions:
I have a dedicated Linux/Apache server through Interland/Dialtone. The
server was just set up this past summer so I assume it has fairly recent
versions of Linux, Apache, Mod_Perl etc.
What exactly does it take to install this Apache::ASP software onto that box? Like.is it pretty simple or is this something that I should be hiring someone to do for me given my extreme inexperience. If I should not be messing with it and someone out there is interested in helping me, e-mail me off-list and let me know what you would charge for this.
What are the possible ramifications of this installation? In other words, what kinds of problems can I anticipate? What should I do to prepare for the installation?
I appreciate any help or tips anyone can provide.
TIA, Robin
