Re: OT: Converting a ASP request to CGI?

[James Buchanan]

Write an ASP page which then calls a CGI script.

In file blah.asp:

Dim param1, param2
param1 = Request.QueryString(param1)
param2 = Request.QueryString(param2)

Response.Redirect somewhere.cgi?param1=  param1  param2=  param2

... and so on is one way to do it, if I understand what you are asking for.

 I realize this is an Off-Topic with serious flamage potential, so I'll keep

 Is anybody aware of any module capable of doing for the ASP environment what
 Apache::Registry does for mod_perl? (i.e. making an asp request look and
 feel as if it were an old plain  cgi-bin)

Nothing ever works for me :-(

I tried altering ppm of ActivePerl to point to the repository to get the
mod_perl binary, but there was no such package available.

I downloaded the source code and followed the steps in install.win32, to
compile with MS Visual C++. Didn't work.

I followed the steps to install with

perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=blah INSTALL_DLL=blah

again it didn't work. Couldn't find ApacheCore.lib in blah when the damn
F'ing library was somewhere else.

Downloaded a binary of mod_perl.so for Win32 and installed manually, put the
required directive in httpd.conf, again, didn't work. Error: Can't load
mod_perl.so: A device attached to the system isn't functioning. Hmm, WTF is
this? Since when has apache needed hardware?

I give up. How do I install the damn thing? Why aren't the docs accurate?
Why doesn't anything ever work? Very strange...

AGHHH!

...ah, feel better now. ;)

Thanks.
