=head1 NAME
ASP - a Module for ASP (PerlScript) Programming
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use strict;
use ASP qw(:strict);
print "Testing, testing.<BR><BR>";
my $item = param('item');
if($item eq 'Select one...') {
die "Please select a value from the list.";
}
print "You selected $item.";
exit;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module is based on Matt Sergeant's excellent
Win32::ASP module, which can be found at
E<lt>F<http://www.fastnetltd.ndirect.co.uk/Perl>E<gt>.
After using Mr. Sergeant's module, I took on the task of
customizing and optimizing it for my own purposes. Feel
free to use it if you find it useful.
=head1 NOTES
This module is designed to work with both ASP PerlScript on IIS4,
as well as mod_perl/Apache::ASP on *nix platforms. Apache::ASP
already provides some of the functionality provided by this module;
because of this (and to avoid redundancy), ASP.pm attempts to detect
its environment. Differences between Apache and MS ASP are noted.
Both of the print() and warn() standard perl funcs are overloaded
to output to the browser. print() is also available via the
$ASP::ASPOUT->print() method call.
$Request->ServerVariables are only stuffed into %ENV on Win32
platforms, as Apache::ASP already provides this.
ASP.pm also exports the $ScriptingNamespace symbol (Win32 only).
This symbol allows PerlScript to call subs/functions written in
another script language. For example:
<%@ language=PerlScript %>
<%
use ASP qw(:strict);
print $ScriptingNamespace->SomeSub("arg1");
%>
<SCRIPT language=VBScript runat=server>
Function SomeSub (str)
SomeSub = SomethingThatReturnsSomething()
End Function
</SCRIPT>
=head1 USE
=head2 use ASP qw(:basic);
Exports basic subs: Print, Warn, die, exit, param, param_count. Same
as C<use ASP;>
=head2 use ASP qw(:strict);
Allows the use of the ASP objects under C<use strict;>.
NOTE: This is not the only way to accomplish this, but I think it's
the cleanest, most convenient way.
=head2 use ASP qw(:all);
Exports all subs except those marked 'not exported'.
=head2 use ASP ();
Overloads print() and warn() and provides the $ASP::ASPOUT object.
=head1 FUNCTION REFERENCE
=head2 warn LIST
C<warn> (or more specifically, the __WARN__ signal) has been re-routed to
output to the browser.
FYI: When implemented, this tweak led to the removal of the prototypes
Matt placed on his subs.
=head2 Warn LIST
C<Warn> is an alias for the ASP::Print method described below. The
overloading of C<warn> as described above does not currently work
in Apache::ASP, so this is provided.
=cut
sub Warn { ASP::Print(@_); }
=head2 print LIST
C<print> is overloaded to write to the browser by default. The inherent
behavior of print has not been altered and you can still use an alternate
filehandle as you normally would. This allows you to use print just
as you would in CGI scripts. The following statement would need no
modification between CGI and ASP PerlScript:
print param('URL'), " was requested by ", $ENV{REMOTE_HOST}, "\n";
=head2 Print LIST
Prints a string or comma separated list of strings to the browser. Use
as if you were using C<print> in a CGI application. Print gets around ASP's
limitations of 128k in a single $Response->Write() call.
NB: C<print> calls Print, so you could use either, but
print more closely resembles perl.
=cut
sub Print {
for (@_) {
if ( length($_) > 128000 ) {
ASP::Print( unpack('a128000a*', $_) );
} else {
$main::Response->Write($_);
}
}
}
=head2 DebugPrint LIST
Output is displayed between HTML comments so the output doesn't
interfere with page aesthetics.
=cut
sub DebugPrint { ASP::Print("<!--\n", @_, "\n-->"); }
=head2 HTMLPrint LIST
The same as C<Print> except the output is HTML-encoded so that
any HTML tags appear as sent, i.e. E<lt> becomes <, E<gt> becomes > etc.
=cut
sub HTMLPrint { map { ASP::Print($main::Server->HTMLEncode($_)) } @_ ; }
=head2 die LIST
Prints the contents of LIST to the browser and then exits. die
automatically calls $Response->End for you, it also executes any
cleanup code you have added with C<AddDeathHook>.
=cut
sub die {
ASP::Print(@_, "</BODY></HTML>");
_END;
$main::Response->End();
CORE::die();
}
=head2 exit
Exits the current script. $Response->End is called automatically for you.
Any cleanup code added with C<AddDeathHook> is also called.
=cut
sub exit {
_END;
$main::Response->End();
CORE::exit();
}
=head2 escape LIST
Escapes (URL-encodes) a list. Uses ASP object method
$Server->URLEncode().
=cut
sub escape { map { $main::Server->URLEncode($_) } @_; }
=head2 unescape LIST
Unescapes a URL-encoded list. Algorithms ripped from CGI.pm
method of the same name.
=cut
sub unescape {
map {
tr/+/ /;
s/%([0-9a-fA-F]{2})/pack("c",hex($1))/ge;
} @_;
}
=head2 escapeHTML LIST
Escapes a list of HTML. Uses ASP object method $Server->HTMLEncode().
If passed an array reference, escapeHTML will return a reference
to the escaped array.
=cut
sub escapeHTML {
my ($flag, @args) = (0, @_);
@args = @{$args[0]} and $flag++ if ref $args[0] eq "ARRAY";
$_ = $main::Server->HTMLEncode($_) for @args;
$flag ? \@args : @args;
}
=head2 unescapeHTML LIST
Unescapes an HTML-encoded list.
If passed an array reference, unescapeHTML will return a reference
to the un-escaped array.
=cut
sub unescapeHTML {
my ($flag, @args) = (0, @_);
@args = @{$args[0]} and $flag++ if ref $args[0] eq "ARRAY";
map {
s/&/&/gi;
s/"/"/gi;
s/ / /gi;
s/>/>/gi;
s/</</gi;
s/&#(\d+);/chr($1)/ge;
s/&#x([0-9a-f]+);/chr(hex($1))/gi;
} @args;
$flag ? \@args : @args;
}
=head2 param EXPR [, EXPR]
Simplifies parameter access and makes switch from GET to POST transparent.
Given the following querystring:
myscript.asp?x=a&x=b&y=c
param() returns ('x', 'y')
param('y') returns 'c'
param('x') returns ('a', 'b')
param('x',1) returns 'a'
param('x',2) returns 'b'
NOTE: Under Apache::ASP, param() simply passes the arguments
to CGI::param() because Apache::ASP doesn't support the $obj->{Count}
property used in this function.
=cut
sub param {
if ($APACHE) {
return (wantarray) ? (CGI::param(@_)) : scalar(CGI::param(@_));
}
unless (@_) {
my @keys;
push( @keys, $_ ) for ( Win32::OLE::in $main::Request->QueryString );
push( @keys, $_ ) for ( Win32::OLE::in $main::Request->Form );
return @keys;
}
$_[1] = 1 unless defined $_[1];
unless (wantarray) {
if ($main::Request->ServerVariables('REQUEST_METHOD')->Item eq 'GET') {
return $main::Request->QueryString($_[0])->Item($_[1]);
} else {
return $main::Request->Form($_[0])->Item($_[1]);
}
} else {
my ($i, @ret);
if ($main::Request->ServerVariables('REQUEST_METHOD')->Item eq 'GET') {
my $count = $main::Request->QueryString($_[0])->{Count};
for ($i = 1; $i <= $count; $i++ ) {
push @ret, $main::Request->QueryString($_[0])->Item($i);
}
} else {
my $count = $main::Request->Form($_[0])->{Count};
for ($i = 1; $i <= $count; $i++) {
push @ret, $main::Request->Form($_[0])->Item($i);
}
}
return @ret;
}
}
=head2 param_count EXPR
Returns the number of times EXPR appears in the request (Form or
QueryString).
For example, if URL is
myscript.asp?x=a&x=b&y=c
then
param_count('x');
returns 2.
NOTE: Under Apache::ASP, param_count() performs some manipulation
using CGI::param() because Apache::ASP doesn't support the
$obj->{Count} property used in this function.
=cut
sub param_count {
if ($APACHE) {
return scalar( @{[ CGI::param($_[0]) ]} );
}
if ($main::Request->ServerVariables('REQUEST_METHOD')->Item eq 'GET') {
return $main::Request->QueryString($_[0])->{Count};
} else {
return $main::Request->Form($_[0])->{Count};
}
}
=head2 AddDeathHook LIST
Allows cleanup code to be executed when you C<die> or C<exit>.
Useful for closing database connections in the event of a
fatal error.
<%
my $conn = Win32::OLE-new('ADODB.Connection');
$conn->Open("MyDSN");
$conn->BeginTrans();
ASP::AddDeathHook( sub { $Conn->Close if $Conn; } );
%>
Death hooks are not executed except by explicitly calling the die() or exit()
methods provided by ASP.pm.
AddDeathHook is not exported.
=cut
sub AddDeathHook { push @DeathHooks, @_; }
# These two functions are ripped from CGI.pm
sub expire_calc {
my($time) = @_;
my(%mult) = ('s'=>1,
'm'=>60,
'h'=>60*60,
'd'=>60*60*24,
'M'=>60*60*24*30,
'y'=>60*60*24*365);
# format for time can be in any of the forms...
# "now" -- expire immediately
# "+180s" -- in 180 seconds
# "+2m" -- in 2 minutes
# "+12h" -- in 12 hours
# "+1d" -- in 1 day
# "+3M" -- in 3 months
# "+2y" -- in 2 years
# "-3m" -- 3 minutes ago(!)
# If you don't supply one of these forms, we assume you are
# specifying the date yourself
my $offset;
if ( !$time || $time eq 'now' ) {
$offset = 0;
} elsif ( $time =~ /^([+-]?\d+)([mhdMy]?)/ ) {
$offset = ($mult{$2} || 1)*$1;
} else {
return $time;
}
return ($time + $offset);
}

=head1 HISTORY
=over 4
=item Version 1.07
Added Warn() because warn() overloading doesn't appear to work
under Apache::ASP.
Was forced to clear @DeathHooks array after calling _END() because
of the persistent state of Apache::ASP holding over contents across
executions.
Removed BinaryWrite(), SetCookie(), and Autoload functionality.
=item Version 1.00
The escapeHTML() and unescapeHTML() functions now accept array refs as well
as lists, as Win32::ASP::HTMLEncode() was supposed to.
Thanks to Matt Sergeant for the fix.
=item Version 0.97
Optimized and debugged.
=item Version 0.77
Overloaded warn() and subsequently removed prototypes.
Exported $ScriptingNamespace object.
Added methods escape(), unescape(), escapeHTML(), unescapeHTML().
Thanks to Bill Odom for pointing these out!
Re-implemented SetCookie and BinaryWrite functions.
=item Version 0.11
Optimized and debugged.
