I am sorry for your troubles, I was hoping someone else had some advice
relevant to this problem, as I did not. Compilation on Windows of any
of the unix type stuff has always seems luck when its worked out for me
( though I developed Apache::ASP on WinNT for at least 2 years! ).
If you would like to get the XSLT example to work, but have a hard time
getting XML::XSLT working, you could trying using XML::Sablotron or
XML::LibXSLT, both of which are supported via the XSLTParser config.
At least with these latter modules, you do not need to get
XML::Parser to work.

Sure, Apache::ASP does not care how its scripts are named, for example,
I often masquerade them as .html / .htm files on a server with
<Files ~ *\.htm>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::ASP
...
</Files>
So you could name them .pasp for Perl ASP to have things be more
clear on your server.

I am not sure what to do about this. What surprises me here is that any application
search or bookmarks would be able to create the /tmp directory for you, as the
Apache::ASP
code should only be creating the directories like /tmp/asp_demo and /tmp/asp_search
when they get run. But even with possible issue fixed, you still have a problem
in that the samples will not run out of the box as samples should.
Perhaps I might add the ability into running perl Makefile.PL
to modify the samples .htaccess at installation time to set a
platform dependent StateDir? But this assumes that you installed
Apache::ASP by runnning
perl Makefile.PL; nmake test; nmake install
did you?

Now this is interesting, because its is looking for some
C:\Programme\Server\Apache\public\ApacheASP\tmp\bookmarks
file, but if the program were working as I would expect, it
would look for the /tmp/asp_apps_bookmarks/bookmarks file
because of this code in site/apps/bookmarks/global.asa:
$Db = DBI->connect("DBI:CSV:f_dir=".Apache->dir_config('StateDir'), '', '',
{ RaiseError => 1 })
or die "Cannot connect: " . $DBI::errstr;
The /tmp/asp_apps_bookmarks config should come from
]# cat site/apps/bookmarks/.htaccess
DirectoryIndex index.asp
<Files ~ \.asp$>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::ASP
PerlSetVar Global .
PerlSetVar GlobalPackage My::Bookmarks
PerlSetVar StateDir /tmp/asp_apps_bookmarks
...
</Files>
So maybe your apache isn't letting .htaccess be read
with the "AllowOverride All" httpd.conf setting. But then
we would be back to the /tmp missing on your system.
So, if you do install Apache::ASP with "perl Makefile.PL" ...
maybe I can also offer to create it for you to get the
sample scripts working?!
