=head2 CGI
CGI has been the standard way of deploying web applications long before ASP came along. CGI.pm is a very useful module that aids developers in the building of these applications, and Apache::ASP has been made to be compatible with function calls in CGI.pm. Please see cgi.htm in the ./eg directory for a sample ASP script written almost entirely in CGI.
As of version 0.09, use of CGI.pm for both input and output is seemless when working under Apache::ASP. Thus if you would like to port existing CGI scripts over to Apache::ASP, all you need to do is wrap <% %> around the script to get going. This functionality has been implemented so that developers may have the best of both worlds when building their web applications.
Following are some special notes with respect to compatibility with CGI. Use of CGI.pm in any of these ways was made possible through a great amount of work, and is not gauranteed to be portable with other perl ASP implementations, as other ASP implementations will likely be more limited.
