thought about Perl and php, but have been wanting to do more with asp so it
ASP is just an API, it is not tied to VBScript. If it's important for you to be able to run the same code on both the Windows and Linux web servers, you may be able to run PerlScript ASP pages on the Windows side and Apache::ASP on the Linux side.
Thinking about Perl vs. ASP is like thinking about Yamaha vs. yellow.
It sounds like now, for my immediate needs Perl might be the way to go, but it sounds like I will need:
the standard LWP::UserAgent and/or HTTP::Request modules
Do I understand that correctly?
Thanos was suggesting that you go ahead and use Apache::ASP, but within the Perl ASP code on the Linux side you use either the LWP::UserAgent or HTTP::Request CPAN modules to make the HTTP connection to your Windows server. This is as opposed to the VBScript/OLE call you gave in your original post, which has a similar function.
