To build packages that work seamlessly on many different platforms
isn't easy, especially for Win32, but many people here have put a lot
of effort into this - they make their lives harder so yours can
be easier ...

Using the CPAN.pm module to install things is very good advice -
Apache-ASP should build and install cleanly with it. Alternatively,
if you're using ActivePerl (the 600 series, based on Perl-5.6.0),
there's a mod_perl package you can try - install it as (on one line)
ppm install
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/mod_perl.ppd
and then
ppm install
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/Apache-ASP.ppd
You might need some additional packages for ASP, depending
on your setup - these can also be installed by the ppm utility from
ActiveState's site (see http://www.activestate.com/ppmpackages/
for a list of available packages).
