13 heya,
14
15 from my experience you would need something like sun's chilisoft asp
16 engine in order to run true asp code on a linux-based machine. apache-asp
17 is all perl-based, meaning you can't just take code off a windows machine
18 and expect it to work on linux. to be honest, i have no idea what the
19 point of apache-asp is.
