If you are looking to try out Apache::ASP by using the files in
/usr/share/doc/libapache-asp-perl/examples, remember to uncompress all
the files once you've copied them to your ~/public_html/ directory (or
wherever you decide to put them).

This package can also be run in stand-alone mode.  Use the following to make that possible:

  In .htaccess:

  Options ExecCGI
  AddType application/x-asp-perl .asp
  Action application/x-asp-perl /cgi-bin/asp-perl

  In /cgi-bin/asp-perl file:

  #!/bin/sh
  exec /usr/bin/asp-perl "$PATH_TRANSLATED"

If you get a syntax error that Action is an invalid command the problem is
that the default httpd.conf doesn't load mod_actions. Loading that fixes the
problem.

Thanks to Nigel Horne for the pointer.
