asp on Linux apache

[John Seth]

To run ASP effectively and with the least security issues, I'd look into
the email earlier regarding Chilisoft, as I've seen that used most often
by ISP's, companies or hosters that have a strong desire or need to run
ASP on Linux.  ASP itself is very insecure in my dealings with it, hence i
have standalone winblows boxes at work rather than Linux w/ ASP abilities.

The Apache::ASP module is for perl and most often used in conjunction with
mod_perl and apache, such as calling an ASP script through a perl script
using the mod_perl abilities in Apache.  I could be wrong there, so don't
quote me on it.

If you can write a new script, or use something like asp2php (which I've
never used personally) I'd say go for it... then you know it's full inner
workings.
