Re: ASP.NET and PerlScript

in reply to ASP.NET and PerlScript

This is perl, v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread...
Binary build 631 provided by ActiveState...
[download]

I did download Perlscript from Activestate's site and Perlscript itself is working in aspx files on my server, I can do just about anything besides access the intrinsic ASP objects or load Win32::ASP(because it uses ASP's objects, and so it won't run since $Response keeps coming back undefined).

I'll take a look at PerlNET, but I was under the impression I had installed all the utilities I needed to run Perlscript under ASP.NET. Unfortunately, I'm not interested in the Perl Dev Kit or any other of Activestate's retail software(I doubt my employer will pay for it), I only need whatever is out there and freely downloadable that will make what I need to do possible.

To illustrate my problem, perhaps I should show you two different snippets of code, one that works, and one that doesn't.

This code works:

<%@ Page Language=Perlscript Debug="True" %>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<%
for $i (1 .. 10) {
%>
<%= $i %><BR>
<% } %>
</body>
</html>
[download]

This code doesn't:

<%@ Page Language=Perlscript Debug="True" %>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<%
for $i (1 .. 10) {
$Response->Write("$i<BR>");
} %>
</body>
</html>
[download]

Both of those pages should print the exact same thing, and the second one doesn't work because $Response doesn't seem to ever be initialized as an object. I did some poking around some symbol tables, and I found $Win32::ASP::Response, but that is also undefined. Help!
