What are the benefits of using ASP vs. PERL?
ASP and PERL can both be used to process forms. However, there are many reasons to use ASP. ASP is often faster and has less overhead on the server. ASP is typically used on an Microsfot IIS server. However, ASP can be platform independent when using an emulator such as ChiliSoft. PERL is platform independent, you just need the PERL.EXE file on the server. ASP pages can be written in PERL, VBScript, or JavaScript. PERL files need to be written in PERL. PERL files typically reside in the CGI-BIN whereas ASP pages can reside anywhere on the server, this is a big advantage. Also, the code of ASP files cannot be seen.
