But the speed of "ASP" depends greatly on the scripting engine you use. So it
might be true that ASP+VBScript is as fast as mod_perl, but ASP+PerlScript is
slower. So unless you specify the language used, how can you compare them?
And the original poster mentioned "Perl", not ",pl". So does "Perl" mean a
".pl" script on NT, or using mod_perl, or maybe PerlEx or PerlISAPI. ".pl"
scripts on NT are rather slow compared to PerlISAPI, mod_perl, or PerlEx. So
how can you compare "Perl" to "ASP"? If you really think you can, I would
love to see some benchmarks<g>.
Also to the original poster... If he is trying to get you to use VBScript+ASP
instead of "Perl" (any environment), you must realize the functionality you
are going to lose when you do that. VBScript is a very weak language for web
programming IMHO. Heck, VBScript can't even access a file without the use of
a COM component on NT! So unless you can also write (or buy) COM components
to give your ASP+VBScript, then no matter what the speed gain is, for me I
wouldn't do it. Basically your consultant is not looking at the whole
picture... perhaps you should get him to explain in more detail.
BTW - I'm an ASP/PerlScript programmer. I like ASP, it is easy to use... and
I need the functionality of Perl, so VBScript is out of the question.
