(DEPRECATED use ASP4 instead) =head1 SYNOPSIS B Use L instead. =head2 Hello World <%= "Hello, World!" %> =head2 Favorite Color <% if( $Form->{favorite_color} ) { %> Your favorite color is <%= $Server->HTMLEncode( $Form->{favorite_color} ) %>. <% } else { %> What is your favorite color? <% }# end if() %> =head1 DESCRIPTION Apache2::ASP scales out well and has brought the ASP programming model to Perl in a new way. This rewrite had a few major goals: =over 4 =item * Master Pages Like ASP.Net has, including nested Master Pages. =item * Partial-page caching Like ASP.Net has. =item * Better configuration The original config format was unsatisfactory. =item * Handle multiple VirtualHosts better. Configuration was the root of this problem. B: If you use an ORM, make sure your ORM doesn't have any "global" configuration object in memory, unless it is schema-aware. L is good and L also works well with Apache2::ASP. Do not use L with Apache2::ASP because of configuration overlap problems which arise when you have 2 tables with the same name in 2 different databases. =item * Better performance Server resources were being wasted on unnecessary activities like storing session state even when it had not changed, etc. =back =head1 BUGS It's possible that some bugs have found their way into this release. Use RT L to submit bug reports. =head1 HOMEPAGE Please visit the Apache2::ASP homepage at L to see examples of Apache2::ASP in action. =head1 AUTHOR John Drago =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 2008 John Drago.
