# asp-perl(1p)

Apache::ASP CGI and command line script processor

## NAME

asp-perl - Apache::ASP CGI and command line script processor

## SYNOPSIS

asp-perl \[-hsdb\] \[-f asp.conf\] \[-o directory\] file1 `@arguments` file2 `@arguments` ...

```
    -h  Help you are getting now!
    -f  Specify an alternate configuration file other than ./asp.conf
    -s  Setup $Session and $Application state for script.
    -d  Set to debug code upon errors.
    -b  Only return body of document, no headers.
    -o  Output directory, writes to files there instead of STDOUT
    -p  GlobalPackage config, what perl package are the scripts compiled in.
```

## DESCRIPTION

This program will run Apache::ASP scripts from the command line. Each file that is specified will be run, and the  `$Request`-\>**QueryString()** and `$Request`-\>**Form()** data will be  initialized by the `@arguments` following the script file name.

The `@arguments` will be written as space separated  words, and will be initialized as an associate array where `%arguments` = `@arguments`.  As an example:

```
 asp-perl file.asp key1 value1 key2 value2
```

would be similar to calling the file.asp in a web environment like

```
 /file.asp?key1=value1&key2=value2
```

The asp.conf script will be read from the current directory for parameters that would be set with PerlSetVar normally under mod\_perl.  For more information on how to configure the asp.conf file, please see \< http://www.apache-asp.org/cgi.html \>
