[Gllug] ASP on Linux

[gllug at uncertainty.org.uk]

Unfortuantely if someone is asking for ASP they usually haven't realised
that you have a choice of language !

So they are probably writing in VBscript

There is something quite satisfying about writing both backend and
frontend stuff in JavaScript

Writing Perl ASP seems a bit sick to me !

Sorry I can't help with the recommendations for ASP/Linux 
Contary to M$ I don't believe ASP offers any advantages over modPerl etc
(though it does as they claim have advantages over perl CGI)
