Note that Apache::ASP is perl native, and database accesss
is done through the DBI / DBD interface. What you are using
is native MS ASP objects & VBScript. We have only perl scripting
here :) perldoc DBI for more info. As long as the db is not
MSSQL, or Access, then you will have a good chance of interfacing
with it...
Check out all the DBD drivers there are at:
