The reason I was investigating using Apache::ASP is that I was led to
believe that I could take ASP pages from a Win2k / IIS server and put
them on our Unix-based Apache web server. However, looking at the errors
in the error_log of the web server when I try unsuccessfully to bring up
one of these pages copied from the IIS server, it seems like the
scripting in the Apache::ASP page must be written in Perl... that's also
what I am starting to believe from the terse info available on the Intro
page at http://www.apache-asp.org/
So my question is, what does Apache::ASP actually have to do with the
ASP code for IIS? Anything at all?
I apologize for the confusion on this issue. Active Server Pages was
originally defined as an object + events model for web applications,
with scripting languages possible being VBScript, JScript, PerlScript, ...
What I did was port the IIS/PerlScript implementation to Apache under mod_perl
for performance, scalability & security.
Unfortunately, over time people ended up equating Active Server Pages
to mean VBScripted pages, so this has been a point of confusion for many
who did not otherwise know better. I try to explain this clearly in
the first line of introducing Apache::ASP, and do not think I can do
more than that.

Josh
