=head1 NAME

ASP - a Module for ASP (PerlScript) Programming

=head1 SYNOPSIS

	use strict;
	use ASP qw(:strict);

	print "Testing, testing.<BR><BR>";
	my $item = param('item');

	if($item eq 'Select one...') {
	    die "Please select a value from the list.";
	}

	print "You selected $item.";
	exit;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module is based on Matt Sergeant's excellent
Win32::ASP module, which can be found at
E<lt>F<http://www.fastnetltd.ndirect.co.uk/Perl>E<gt>.
After using Mr. Sergeant's module, I took on the task of
customizing and optimizing it for my own purposes. Feel
free to use it if you find it useful.

=head1 NOTES

This module is designed to work with both ASP PerlScript on IIS4,
as well as mod_perl/Apache::ASP on *nix platforms. Apache::ASP
already provides some of the functionality provided by this module;
because of this (and to avoid redundancy), ASP.pm attempts to detect
its environment. Differences between Apache and MS ASP are noted.

Both of the print() and warn() standard perl funcs are overloaded
to output to the browser. print() is also available via the
$ASP::ASPOUT->print() method call.

$Request->ServerVariables are only stuffed into %ENV on Win32
platforms, as Apache::ASP already provides this.

ASP.pm also exports the $ScriptingNamespace symbol (Win32 only).
This symbol allows PerlScript to call subs/functions written in
another script language. For example:

    <%@ language=PerlScript %>
    <%
        use ASP qw(:strict);
        print $ScriptingNamespace->SomeSub("arg1");
    %>
    <SCRIPT language=VBScript runat=server>
    Function SomeSub (str)
        SomeSub = SomethingThatReturnsSomething()
    End Function
    </SCRIPT>

=head1 USE

=head2 use ASP qw(:basic);

Exports basic subs: Print, Warn, die, exit, param, param_count. Same
as C<use ASP;>

=head2 use ASP qw(:strict);

Allows the use of the ASP objects under C<use strict;>.

NOTE: This is not the only way to accomplish this, but I think it's
the cleanest, most convenient way.

=head2 use ASP qw(:all);

Exports all subs except those marked 'not exported'.

=head2 use ASP ();

Overloads print() and warn() and provides the $ASP::ASPOUT object.

=head1 FUNCTION REFERENCE

=head2 warn LIST

C<warn> (or more specifically, the __WARN__ signal) has been re-routed to
output to the browser.

FYI: When implemented, this tweak led to the removal of the prototypes
Matt placed on his subs.
