Thanks Chris and Fagyal,
Gladly.
To be clear, I'm inheriting the old IIS scripts to try and move onto the Unix Apache server so that the Windows web server can be decommissioned.
Some inheritance!
Since we're not looking to spend money on this other than man-hours, I guess I'll be looking at trying to port the IIS scripts to PHP by hand (since I don't speak Perl).
If you know PHP, learning Perl is a pretty short putt, but its a far better programming langauge IMNSHO. We started using Apache::ASP to have a PHP-like environment that didn't require PHP. I've stuck with it because its powerful enough to let you define your own tags and we were able to build out a poorly speced site in miraculous time. I've worked in dozens of different langauges/environments for doing web development and Apache::ASP is one of the few that don't cause me to say "ok, I get it, but there's got to be a better way". That's not to say its perfect, but its definitely mighty fine. (I had avoided looking at it because of my anti-ASP bias. I'm glad somebody poked me into getting past that.)
