Apache::ASP is much better software than original ASP. More functionality
and freedom.
For me, Apache::ASP was perfect start point for ride from MS technologies to

GNU world (Perl, Apache, Unix). We wrote about 40 projects with Apache::ASP
For big projects we use native Apache Perl modules with Template-Toolkit
now, but for common projects among
embedding scripting techniques Apache::ASP is perfect tool.
