Hi Andrew, thanx for the idea to have a look at Apache::ASP. I took that look meanwhile and to me that seems to be an overhead. Maybe I'm naive, because it wasn't much more than a glance, but the code copes with things a server page *never* has to worry about, things like session handling and so on. Apache::ASP looks more like a Java class packet (you know: one of these endless stories that java people use to wrap their code in - but I don't linme java, as you already may assume...) than a perl module. In my understanding a server page is nothing but a document that has to be processed by the server, and the result of this process is sent to the client. All the other aspects of a web application, like sessions or cacheing or th like ar not what the page itself has to care about. It either knows the respective values, because the handler passed them through to it - or it doesn't. But maybe I'm bragging now - wait a few weeks and we'll hopefully both see whether I'm right or not.
