I'm afraid theAcolyte 's reply is plain wrong.

Update: Based on theAcolyte 's reply to my post, I revoke this statement, and offer apologies. If the OP had asked about Client-side scripting (Why would he want to do that in perl?), his reply is valid.

The .asp files need to be server by a WEB SERVER, such as IIS.

The client browser is irrelevent. What the web server does is convert/run the asp code (regardless of whether it is Javascript, VB or perl), and send HTML to the browser.

What you need to do is to place the asp code on a web server (which could be your own machine), and view it using a URL pointing to that page within the server.

Your URL should NOT be something like C:\pathname\file.asp - that will be served by the file system, not by the web server.

Your URL should be http://Servername/pathname/file.asp
