=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.

=head2 Warn LIST

C<Warn> is an alias for the ASP::Print method described below. The
overloading of C<warn> as described above does not currently work
in Apache::ASP, so this is provided.

=cut
sub Warn { ASP::Print(@_); }

=head2 print LIST

C<print> is overloaded to write to the browser by default. The inherent
behavior of print has not been altered and you can still use an alternate
filehandle as you normally would. This allows you to use print just
as you would in CGI scripts. The following statement would need no
modification between CGI and ASP PerlScript:

    print param('URL'), " was requested by ", $ENV{REMOTE_HOST}, "\n";

=head2 Print LIST

Prints a string or comma separated list of strings to the browser. Use
as if you were using C<print> in a CGI application. Print gets around ASP's
limitations of 128k in a single $Response->Write() call.

NB: C<print> calls Print, so you could use either, but
print more closely resembles perl.

=cut
sub Print {
	for (@_) {
		if ( length($_) > 128000 ) {
			ASP::Print( unpack('a128000a*', $_) );
		} else {
			$main::Response->Write($_);
		}
	}
}

=head2 DebugPrint LIST

Output is displayed between HTML comments so the output doesn't
interfere with page aesthetics.

=cut
sub DebugPrint { ASP::Print("<!--\n", @_, "\n-->"); }

=head2 HTMLPrint LIST

The same as C<Print> except the output is HTML-encoded so that
any HTML tags appear as sent, i.e. E<lt> becomes &lt;, E<gt> becomes &gt; etc.

=cut
sub HTMLPrint { map { ASP::Print($main::Server->HTMLEncode($_)) } @_ ; }

=head2 die LIST

Prints the contents of LIST to the browser and then exits. die
automatically calls $Response->End for you, it also executes any
cleanup code you have added with C<AddDeathHook>.

=cut
sub die {
	ASP::Print(@_, "</BODY></HTML>");
	_END;
	$main::Response->End();
	CORE::die();
}

=head2 exit

Exits the current script. $Response->End is called automatically for you.
Any cleanup code added with C<AddDeathHook> is also called.

=cut
sub exit {
	_END;
	$main::Response->End();
	CORE::exit();
}

=head2 escape LIST

Escapes (URL-encodes) a list. Uses ASP object method
$Server->URLEncode().
