In ASP, in a <% ... %> tag you are basically "in Perl", so just do
whatever you would do in a "regular" perl script, e.g. open a PIPE to
the sendmail binary, etc.

...or use MIME::Lite, and let it take care of your mailing :)

When I pull out all the vbscript on the page and try to run the perl I still
get a vb error similar to the one below and yet this IS a linux server
running apache


Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0408'

Invalid character

/application/mainform.asp, line 85

$Response->Write("Hello World! </FONT> <BR>");

These pages were originally built and run on IIS, then moved to a Linux
Apache server. The ISP activated something that made the asp work, BUT, the
function that sends an email doesn't wrok because that mail server is not on
the apache server, thus, I'm wanting to write a snippet of code to use
sendmail which is, SO can anyone help me in doing so?

Thanks;
Cliff

Wait -

Are you on Apache (as in, **NOT** IIS w/VBScript), or are you on Apache
(as in Win32-or-*NIX + Perl)?

If you jam Perl into your ASP and get a VBScript error, chances are
you're not using Apache::ASP - a Perl module for the Apache webserver.

If asp is working on an apache server doens't that mean it must have
apache::asp?
