As we have seen with WebTime, Apache::ASP is not only good  for the
development of website, but also for the development of webtools. Since
I first discoverd it, I made it a must-have in my society by taking
traditional PHP users to the world of perl afficionados.

Having the possibility to use Apache::ASP with mod_perl or mod_cgi make
it constraintless to use because of CGI's universality and perl's
portability.

First, I just want to say that I am very very impressed with Apache::ASP.  I
just want to gush with praise after looking at many other implementations of
perl embedded code and being very underwhelmed.  This is so damn slick and
clean.  Kudos! ...

... I'm very pleased how quickly I've been able to mock
up the application.  I've been writing Perl CGI off and on since 1993(!)
and I can tell you that Apache::ASP is a pleasure.  (Last year I tried
Zope and just about threw my computer out the window.)

Working in a team environment where you have HTML coders and perl
coders, Apache::ASP makes it easy for the HTML folks to change the look
of the page without knowing perl. Using Apache::ASP (instead of another
embedded perl solution) allows the HTML jockeys to use a variety of HTML
tools that understand ASP, which reduces the amount of code they break
when editing the HTML.  Using Apache::ASP instead of M$ ASP allows us to
use perl (far superior to VBScript) and Apache (far superior to IIS).

We've been very pleased with Apache::ASP and its support.

Apache::ASP has been a great tool.  Just a little
background.... the whole site had been in cgi flat files when I started
here.  I was looking for a technology that would allow me to write the
objects and NEVER invoke CGI.pm... I found it and hopefuly I will be able to
implement this every site I go to.

When I got here there was a huge argument about needing a game engine
and I belive this has been the key... Games are approx. 10 time faster than
before. The games don't break anylonger. All in all a great tool for
advancement.

...we ported our biggest yet ASP site from IIS (well, actually rewrote),
Cine.gr and it is a killer site.  In some cases, the whole thing got almost 25 (no typo) times faster...
None of this would ever be possible without Apache::ASP (I do not ever want to write ``print "<HTML>\n";''
again).
