The safest thing to do right now would probably be to do an external
redirect to the ASP page like:
Apache->request->header_out('Location', "script.asp?$ARGS");
I do not think you would be able to pull off an internal redirect,
or you might, but there might be complications if the first script
tried to read POST input on STDIN, and then the ASP script tried also,
there would probably be a hang.
You could also call the registry/cgi as an asp script directly
and have access to the ASP API like:
# cgi wrapper script.asp, works with inline includes ( DynamicIncludes 0 )
<% <!--#include file="script.pl"--> %>
or
<% do "script.pl"; %>
then the script.pl could do all the ASP API calls it likes as in:
# script.pl
...
$Server->Transfer('redirect_to.asp', @args);
...
If what you really want is to simply load an external ASP script
as a template for further processing in the script.pl, and you
only want to run script.pl as an Apache::Registry script, there
is not an API for doing this currently.
