In addition to the advice Justin gave, I'd suggest that with
Perlscript in ASP you can also use DBI as an alternative to ADO.

Also you might experiment with adding:

use ASP qw(:strict);

To the beginning of your page. Make sure it's "ASP", not "Win32::ASP" which
I had no end of trouble using. Adding ASP.pm into your pages allows
you to use regular print statements instead of the $Response->write()
syntax. It also gives you the param('form_element') syntax you may be
familiar with from using CGI.pm in CGI scripts.
