in reply to Going from PerlScript on NT to *NiX

ChilliSoft do an ASP package that runs on Linux.

Personally, ASP drives me crazy. I've been doing it a bit recently - but using perlscript in ASP forces you write a lot of non-portable code. It's not easy to get perlscript running with regular perl - some modules don't work properly, IO is all magically handled by special MS scripting objects, and if you take advantage of any of the shortcuts that microsoft provide, especially with IIS5, you'll have to do a lot of work getting it to run anywhere else.

give me native perl, HTML::Template or Template Toolkit and CGI any day of the week!
