✨ ASP-PERL(1p) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the universe, where the man page is literally called asp-perl and it's here to run your Apache::ASP CGI and command line scripts 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

asp-perl — Apache::ASP CGI and command line script processor 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

asp-perl [-hsdb] [-f asp.conf] [-o directory] file1 @arguments file2
@arguments ...

    -h  Help you are getting now!
    -f  Specify an alternate configuration file other than ./asp.conf
    -s  Setup $Session and $Application state for script.
    -d  Set to debug code upon errors.
    -b  Only return body of document, no headers.
    -o  Output directory, writes to files there instead of STDOUT
    -p  GlobalPackage config, what perl package are the scripts compiled in.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this program runs your Apache::ASP scripts straight from the command line, no web server required, no cap. Every single file you pass in gets run, and the $Request->QueryString() and $Request->Form() data get initialized by the @arguments that follow the script file name ✨

The @arguments get written out as space separated words, and they get initialized as an associate array where %arguments = @arguments. Like, for example, bestie:

asp-perl file.asp key1 value1 key2 value2

that would be similar to calling the file.asp in a web environment like

/file.asp?key1=value1&key2=value2

The asp.conf script gets read from the current directory for parameters that would normally be set with PerlSetVar under mod_perl. Want the full deets on how to configure the asp.conf file? Please see < <http://www.apache-asp.org/cgi.html> > 🫶
