Hey, The latest Apache::ASP v2.09 is in your local CPAN, or also: http://download.sourceforge.net/mirrors/CPAN/modules/by-module/Apache/ ftp://ftp.duke.edu/pub/perl/modules/by-module/Apache/ http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/modules/by-module/Apache/ The module's site is at http://www.apache-asp.org/ and the change list for this release is below. Apache::ASP provides an Active Server Pages port to the Apache Web Server with Perl scripting only, and enables developing of dynamic web applications with session management and embedded perl code. There are also many powerful extensions, including XML taglibs, XSLT rendering, and new events not originally part of the ASP API! -- Josh _________________________________________________________________ Joshua Chamas Chamas Enterprises Inc.

Also fixed up ssi_filter.ssi example. +Auto purge of old stale session group directories, increasing session manager performance when using Sessions when migrating to Apache::ASP 2.09+ from older versions. +SessionQueryParse now works for all $Response->{ContentType} starting with 'text' ... before just worked with text/html, now other text formats like wml will work too. +32 groups instead of 64, better inactive site session group purging. +Default session-id length back up to 32 hex bytes. Better security vs. performance, security more important, especially when performance difference was very little. +PerlSetVar RequestParams 1 creates $Request->Params object with combined contents of $Request->QueryString and $Request->Form ++FormFill feature via HTML::FillInForm. Activate with $Response->{FormFill} = 1 or PerlSetVar FormFill 1 See site/eg/formfill.asp for example. ++XMLSubs tags of the same name may be embedded in each other recursively now. +No umask() use on Win32 as it seems unclear what it would do +simpler Apache::ASP::State file handle mode of >> when opening lock file. saves doing a -e $file test. +AuthServerVariables config to init $Request->ServerVariables with basic auth data as documented. This used to be default behavior, but triggers "need AuthName" warnings from recent versions of Apache when AuthName is not set. -Renamed Apache::ASP::Loader class to Apache::ASP::Load as it collided with the Apache::ASP->Loader() function namespace. Class used internally by Apache::ASP->Loader() so no public API changed here. +-Read of POST input for $Request->BinaryRead() even if its not from a form. Only set up $Request->Form if this is from a form POST. +faster POST/GET param parsing
