    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>

USE
  use ASP qw(:basic);

    Exports basic subs: Print, Warn, die, exit, param, param_count.
    Same as `use ASP;'

  use ASP qw(:strict);

    Allows the use of the ASP objects under `use strict;'.

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

  use ASP qw(:all);

    Exports all subs except those marked 'not exported'.

  use ASP ();

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

FUNCTION REFERENCE
  warn LIST

    `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.

  Warn LIST

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

  print LIST

    `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";

  Print LIST

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

    NB: `print' calls Print, so you could use either, but print more
    closely resembles perl.

  DebugPrint LIST

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

  HTMLPrint LIST

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

  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 `AddDeathHook'.

  exit

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

  escape LIST

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

  unescape LIST

    Unescapes a URL-encoded list. Algorithms ripped from CGI.pm
    method of the same name.

  escapeHTML LIST

    Escapes a list of HTML. Uses ASP object method $Server-
    >HTMLEncode().

    If passed an array reference, escapeHTML will return a reference
    to the escaped array.

  unescapeHTML LIST
