They don't work in ASP. print doesn't do anything in ASP, you can use it with Win32::ASP but that's basically a wrapper that overloads print to use $Response->write, which then gives me an error since there is no such object. Additionally, %ENV is not created as it would be in a CGI environment. None of the CGI/web related variables are there, only some of the ones you would see if you can the script from a console on a Win2k box. Additionally, posted variables are not fed to STDIN, so there's no way to read them. QUERY_STRING variables don't get put in %ENV, so there's no way for me to read them. Without ASP objects, I'm crippled.

The only documentation I can find uses either Win32::ASP(which I can't use because of the error). However, the <%= $var %> syntax does work, oddly enough. However, without the full fledged power of ASP's objects or perl's functions, I can't do much of anything worthwhile.

Weird phenomenon demonstrated below:

This works: 
<%@ Page Language=Perlscript Debug="True" %>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<%
for $i (1 .. 10) {
%>
<%= $i %><BR>
<% } %>
</body>
</html>

This doesn't: 
<%@ Page Language=Perlscript Debug="True" %>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<%
for $i (1 .. 10) {
$Response->Write("$i<BR>");
} %>
</body>
</html>
