DESCRIPTION

Apache2::ASP scales out well and has brought the ASP programming model to Perl in a new way.

This rewrite had a few major goals:

  • Master Pages

    Like ASP.Net has, including nested Master Pages.

  • Partial-page caching

    Like ASP.Net has.

  • Better configuration

    The original config format was unsatisfactory.

  • Handle multiple VirtualHosts better.

    Configuration was the root of this problem.

    NOTE: If you use an ORM, make sure your ORM doesn't have any "global" configuration object in memory, unless it is schema-aware. DBIx::Class is good and Class::DBI::Lite also works well with Apache2::ASP. Do not use Class::DBI with Apache2::ASP because of configuration overlap problems which arise when you have 2 tables with the same name in 2 different databases.

  • Better performance

    Server resources were being wasted on unnecessary activities like storing session state even when it had not changed, etc.
