No exactly, Apache::ASP does a select() to redirect print() calls
to a RESPONSE file handle really tied to the $Response object.

You could try something like this:

tie *RESPONSE, 'Apache::ASP::Response', $self->{Response};
print RESPONSE ...

or even using *Apache::ASP::RESPONSE directly...

BUT I would really not recommend this approach as there are no
guarantees in the Apache::ASP API for this method to exist.

What you should do is simply write this out to a temp file and
then output that directly to the browser after its created
by reading it in, and writing it using $Response->Write.

Josh

Or, if you're running a sufficiently recent version of perl, you can use

open HANDLE, '>', \$somevar;
#call xSV here
close HANDLE;

$Response->Write($somevar);

Bascially, you open a handle to an in-memory variable to write to. This
saves having to use a temp file. I know 5.8.0 supports this. Not sure
if it's in any of the 5.6.X versions.
