Apache::ASP scripts can be executed standalone or as
sub scripts, with <!--#include file=...--> syntax.
Embperl can do the same with its Execute() routine.
So, Apache::ASP nestable logic is like:
<% if($condition) { %>
<!--#include file=yes.inc args='yes'-->
<% } else { %>
<!--#include file=no.inc args='no'-->
<% } %>
In the case of Apache::ASP, you can bail out of a
subscript at anytime with $Response->End(), which will
halt script execution as a special form of a die.
Apache::ASP furthermore buffers output by default, so
you can kill the script at anytime with an error, and
the user would not get half a script's output, just a
server error 500.
