Sounds like a good business and support decision to me.

Well, I don't use ASP (unless they put a gun to my head).
I build pages via CGI.pm and cgi-lib.pl, so I don't need ASP.
I used perlISAPI only to improve performance in IIS when I *had* to use IIS.
I use Apache so I really don't have that issue any more.
We use Linux and Solaris, both with Apache.

I have an win2K laptop I do all my development on.
I run mySQL, Apache and Activestate Perl on my laptop.
The laptop has a (third) partition that I have structured like my UNIX
machine (etc, home, tmp), apache is in the same structure a the UNIX, perl
is in the same path as UNIX, mySQL is in the same path as UNIX, etc.
So I can create all my work on my laptop (Win2K) and then FTP them to my
server and they run *without* modification.
The problems I had was when I was doing win-centric work, now I do
UNIX-centric work and it works on both platforms.
my 2 cents.
