You might want to look into Apache::ASP You can find it at

http://www.apache-asp.org

i keep seeing cpan, do i have to install that first, and what is it?

 

[lgarner]

http://www.cpan.org

is a source for Perl modules. If you have perl-CPAN, then installing more modules can be as simple as "perl -MCPAN -e 'install module::name'". If you don't, you can still browse to CPAN's web site and get the modules there.

The thing you must realize is that ASP is not a programming language, but rather a specification for an object-set and that object set specification can be implemented in any language. ASP has been implemented in VBScript and JScript by Microsoft for use with IIS web server, but "ASP" and "VBScript/ASP" are not synonymous. Apache-ASP, as a counterexample, is a perl implementation of ASP, and as such runs perl code.

If you want to run a VBScript implementation of ASP on Linux, the only solution I know of is Sun Java Active Server Pages.
