Apache::asp provides an active server pages port to the apache web server with perl as the host scripting language. active server pages is a web application platform that originated with the microsoft nt/iis server. under apache for unix and win32 platforms it allows a developer to create dynamic web applications with session management and embedded perl code.

this module works under the apache web server with the mod_perl module enabled. see http://www.apache.org and http://perl.apache.org for further information. it can also work under a standard cgi call interface using the asp-perl command. see readme.debian in this package for more details.

this is a portable solution, similar to activestate's perlscript for nt/iis asp. work has been done and will continue to make ports to and from this implementation as smooth as possible.
