I think Ime has done a good job with the pointers here.
>From a top level perspective, you must first configure Apache
to use Apache::ASP in the httpd.conf. This can be done with
the Files directive, or an AllowOverride All ... then copy over
the site/eg dir from the distribution to your apache doc
root, and hit it with a http URL that corresponds to that
ASP examples directory.
Note that all of the Perl* commands are mod_perl specific,
but everything else is for configuring Apache, so part of
the process here is you getting to learn how to configure
the Apache server in general.
The asp site is at http://www.nodeworks.com/asp/ and may
be of some use to you.
