NAME Apache2::ASP - ASP for Perl, reloaded. SYNOPSIS Hello World <%= "Hello, World!" %> Favorite Color <% if( $Form->{favorite_color} ) { %> Your favorite color is <%= $Server->HTMLEncode( $Form->{favorite_color} ) %>. <% } else { %> What is your favorite color? <% }# end if() %> DESCRIPTION Apache2::ASP scales out well and has brought the ASP programming model to Perl in a new way. This rewrite had a few major goals: * Master Pages Like ASP.Net has, including nested Master Pages. * Partial-page caching Like ASP.Net has. * Better configuration The original config format was unsatisfactory. * Handle multiple VirtualHosts better. Configuration was the root of this problem. NOTE: If you use an ORM, make sure your ORM doesn't have any "global" configuration object in memory, unless it is schema-aware. DBIx::Class is good and Class::DBI::Lite also works well with Apache2::ASP. Do not use Class::DBI with Apache2::ASP because of configuration overlap problems which arise when you have 2 tables with the same name in 2 different databases. * Better performance Server resources were being wasted on unnecessary activities like storing session state even when it had not changed, etc. BUGS It's possible that some bugs have found their way into this release.
