Howdy ya'll,

I'm currently working on and NT server in PerlScript and ASP (VBscript, Javascript as well). It turns out that ASP is VERY easy to develop, there are also more VisualBasic developers available than there are PERL developers and the ones that can do VB & not PERL tend to be cheaper (concerns of a large corporation)

There are however some reasons big reasons why some of the people on the team (me) would like to move to a Linux or Unix environment

to sell the rest of the team on it however, I'd probably need to convince them that they wouldn't lose all of their experience in ASP (VB) which converts (relitively easily) to PerlScript

does anyone know If it is possible to run ASP on a *Nix environment? Even just the PerlScript part? or is it the case that there are too many calls directly to the OS when using ASP and It would be "impossible" at this time? probably the second one ... but i thought i'd ask :)
