I think the OP might be under the impression that "ASP" is an unambiguous term 
so, just to clear up a possible terminology misunderstanding: 

ASP = Active Server Pages. Originally developed by Microsoft, a technology that 
allowed you to put dynamic content (written in VBScript) into a web-page. The 
dynamic content could only be parsed by an ASP interpreter that was an add-on 
to the MS IIS webserver. This was an entirely proprietary & commercial package 
that could only work on MS.

However.... For some odd reason, MS didn't patent or protect the term (maybe it 
is too generic) so now ASP is used to define several technologies that allow 
dynamic content: Apache:ASP is possibly the most extreme since it uses Perl as 
the scripting language and Apache as the webserver and so the only thing it has 
in common with MS-ASP is the three letter acronymn.

To sum up; "ASP" means a different thing to different people and so if you ask 
"can I use ASP with apache?" you'll get the answer "Yes" or "No" depending on 
who you ask. And both will be correct... :-)
