You must remember that ASP on IIS permits two different languages - VBscript
and Jscript. What you call "traditional" ASP is an example of VBscript, but
whenever I coded in ASP I used Jscript which is what you refer to as "Perl"
but in actual fact has far, far, far more in common with javascript that perl.

The language used can be specified at the top of the page.

Personally though, I agree with other posters in that PHP is a more suitable
language. Combined with Zeus it's a great deal faster, easier to code in,
isn't as brain-dead and is more functional, in addition to being available
for free for a large number of platforms.

ASP is for people who buy the M$ line every time. We aren't members of that
set.
