I really don't think it's such a big deal.
I used to write ASP, started with VBScript,
they wanted things that could not be reasonably
done, and I was pushing for Perl anyways and
so we did it in PerlScript. The main issue is
that if it's a commericial product or enterpise
use you need to get the license. Otherwise, it
really is about them understanding, and it's
not your problem. ASP is the IIS solution for
FastCGI/mod_perl, etc.
