Hi Søren,

several ways:

1) in your asp file:
..
do 'test.pl';
subroutine();
..

or "do 'path/test.pl'" if test.pl is in another path than your asp script.

2) in your apache.conf:

..
PerlRequire path/test.pl
..

important: test.pl must return a true value e.g. must end with "1;" and
your subroutine(s) must be
prepended with the package name you gave in the "PerSetVar GlobalPackage"
directive,
e.g. in test.pl:
..
sub GP::testsub {
..

and call it in your asp:
..
GP::testsub();
..

3) convert the test.pl to the perl module test.pm.

Please read "man perlmod" for this, there also exists a script
"pl2pm" (at least i think, this is the name?) which converts a pl file to a
pm file.

4) in your test.pl:

remove the "#!/usr/bin/perl" (or similar) line and put a "<%" at the begin
and a "%>" at the end of the file
and rename it "test.inc" (for example)

In your asp:
..
$Response->Include ('test.inc")
..
(of course before calling the subrouine)

May be there are more ways..

Hi S=F8ren,

..

and call it in your asp:
..
GP::testsub();
..

3) convert the test.pl to the perl module test.pm.

Please read "man perlmod" for this, there also exists a script=20
"pl2pm" (at least i think, this is the name?) which converts a pl file to a
pm file.

4) in your test.pl:

remove the "#!/usr/bin/perl" (or similar) line and put a "<%" at the begin
and a "%>" at the end of the file
and rename it "test.inc" (for example)
