One significant problem was that PerlScript was ridiculously slow compared to VBScript

I hadn't heard that before, and I haven't really done extensive benchmarking, but on the couple of JavaScript pages that I rewrote in PerlScript, there wasn't any significant difference. One page was reading filenames from a directory and displaying them, and the other was fetching data from a database (Update: yes, I realize these are not good examples for benchmarking the raw speed of a language, but on most of those pages, the bottleneck was the database (and development time :-)). This was just for an internal website, and not very high traffic, so YMMV.

The other thing is, if you are going to go with ASP and PerlScript, then Matts' Intro to PerlScript and his Win32::ASP module are your friends.
