         OK, Network Computing once stated that their tests showed 
PerlScript in ASP is more effective than VBscript. So you can use both Perl 
and ASP. Any embedded scripting engine will always be better than CGI. It 
is up to you what scripting solution to select - I strongly recommend 
Apache+PHP3 on a Unix system (like FreeBSD or Linux for Intel platforms)
