Scarab has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I work on my school's site which runs off of a Win2000 "Advanced" Server, and I run a calendar script from my own Unix server linked to the school's site. This Win2k server does not have any form of perl and I have no ability to put it on (system permissions and all). But the server is very wililng to run ASP, so is there any easy way to translate perl to asp?
  • Comment on Is there any automated process (ie. program) to translate Perl to ASP?

    Is there any way to translate Perl to ASP?

    Perl is a language. ASP is a technology for embedding scripting languages into web pages, and "executed" them the web server, producing dynamic content.

    Out of the box, ASP supports VBScript and JScript (Microsoft's JavaScript). ActiveState provides PerlScript, which is an add-on to allow Perl to be used in ASP pages.

    To my knowledge, there is no automatic translation from Perl to either VBScript or JScript.
