Hey, Apache::ASP v2.45 is released to CPAN. This is a fairly large release with some new features, performance enhancements & bug fixes. Please see the change log below.

If set to 0, will enable new XMLSubs args that are more ASP like with <%= %> for dynamic interpolation, such as: <my:xmlsub arg="<%= $data %>" arg2="text <%= $data2 %>" /> Settings XMLSubsPerlArgs to 0 is experimental for now, but will become the default by Apache::ASP version 3.0 ++Optimization for static HTML/XML files that are served up via Apache::ASP so that they are not compiled into perl subroutines first. This makes especially native XSLT both faster & take less memory to serve, before XSL & XML files being transformed by XSLT would both be compiled as normal ASP script first, so now this will happen if they really are ASP scripts with embedded <% %> code blocks & XMLSubs being executed. +Consolidate some config data for Apache::ASP->Loader to use globals in @Apache::ASP::CompileChecksumKeys to know which config data is important for precompiling ASP scripts. +Further streamlined code compilation. Now both base scripts and includes use the internal CompileInclude() API to generate code. -Fixed runtime HTML error output when Debug is set to -2/2, so that script correctly again gets rendered in final perl form. Added compile time error output to ./site/eg/syntax_error.htm when a special link is clicked for a quick visual test. -Cleaned up some bad coding practices in ./site/eg/global.asa associated changes in other example files. Comment example global.asa some for the first time reader -DemoASP.pm examples module needed "use strict" fix, thanks to Allan Vest for bug report --$rv = $Response->Include({ File => ..., Cache => 1}); now works to get the first returned value fetched from the cache. Before, because a list was always returned, $rv would have been equal to the number of items returned, even if the return value list has just one element. (d) added site/robots.txt file with just a comment for search engine indexing -fixed ./site/eg/binary_write.htm to not use $Response->{ContentLength} because it does not exist. Fixed it to use $Response->AddHeader now instead
