As w/ the 'down off an elephant' joke' you don't,
generally. You write perl cgi to produce the web
page. But there's more. Mason et alia are
ways to do that (there's a perlscript/IIS implant)
one of which is covered in the July (alas *not*
online)
2000 issue of SysAdmin, which uses perl (and sh/ksh)
'here' documents, apache and the htttpd.conf file
to do on-the-fly perl processing. Pretty nice.
For more on Mason and other options, see

Well just to start, I got most of this info from "Perl in a Nutshell". First, you have to make sure that it can support ASP. Then to place it in the HTML document use the <script></script> tags Ex:
<Script language="PerlScript">
$window->document->write("This is PerlScript..");
</script>

From your question, I'd assume you're talking about using CGI.
For this, check out CGI.pm from CPAN as a programming module. It's very useful.
If you're not familiar with the process of CGI programming, I'd suggest reading a small book about it, or doing a few searches here.. I'm sure there are a few tutorials on it.
The basis of CGI is that you have a Perl script on the web server, which is invoked when a browser points to it. The output of the Perl program is the html of the page. Inputs are achieved via forms.
Well, that's very simplistic, but you'll get the idea searching round.
Hope this helps some,

Considering that you beginning it's probably well worth having a look at Server SIde includes (SSI). SSI's allow HTML files to be written and then have perl scripts embedded in them. Have a look at this quick SSI Tutorial and see what you think. | [reply] |
i have found that using frames is the best way around it, but if you insist on not using frames, then you could place a hidden html tag eg.
at the point where you want your returned code to appear, create a cript that opens your html file (as a template) and reads it into an array, do a foreach loop through the array and if is found on the line, run the required routine then finnish your foreach loop... I hope that makes sense | [reply] |
So far nothing makes sense to me.
I'm using Windows XP.
I installed ActivePerl and have PerlScript in my registry.
I have tried very simple perl scripts:
<%@Language=PerlScript%>
<HTML>
<TITLE> PerlScript Test </TITLE>
<%
for($i=0; $i<=10; $i+=2) {
$Response->Write("");
$Response->Write("Hello World!
");
}
%>
</HTML>
I get the following error:
Error Type:
Active Server Pages, ASP 0129 (0x80004005)
The scripting language 'PerlScript' is not found on the server.
/PerlScript.asp, line 1
or if the asp file is called from an html file I just get
HTTP 500 - Internal server error.
I have PERL_SRC in my system variables and PERL in my path but no other PERL refernces.
I've tried to read all the PERL documentation but I'm getting nowhere and am ready to throw perl away and use C to access mysql.
