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.
