As someone else mentioned in this thread, Apache::ASP creates an ASP
environment inside an Apache/mod_perl web server, allowing you to use
ASP-type methods (Response.Write, etc) and Server and Session variables
to develop on any Apache/mod_perl web server.

There's also a module on the CPAN, ASP.pm, which provides a simpler
interface to several of the ASP features, as well as adding some useful
functionality. (Another module, Win32::ASP, did many of the same
things, but only when using the ActiveX PerlScript module from
ActiveState, in conjunction with the MS Internet Information Server;
ASP.pm was designed to be cross-platform.)
Apache/Apache::ASP is quite a usable solution, especially if you're
familiar with the ASP objects and/or Perl. Aside from the normal
memory/execution overhead in any mod_php or mod_perl server, Apache::ASP
adds very little additional overhead.
Hope this helps,
