Introduction

What is libapache-asp-perl

libapache-asp-perl is:

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.
