if u can invest some time in learning mod_perl U will be awarded for your time.. short desc of the benefits :
- speed
- u can work with the Apache innyards and do things u cant do in other way... and this with you favorite Perl
the drawback is that mod_perl is memory hungry, but with a good policy this can be solved.
U can start with perl.apache.org. Look at the mod_perl guide it is very troutghfull and u can find answer on almost all of your questions.
I preffer to use Template-Toolkit (rich-language,compilation on disk, sharing one Template object over all scripts..etc..). , but all template system will benefit from using mod_perl
I also use Apache::ASP (www.apache-asp.org) and I'm very comfortable with it.. not to mention that it has much greater functionality than MS ASP.
