Questions tagged [perlscript]

PerlScript is a scripting engine to run Perl scripts on either ASP or WSH.

PerlScript was initially solely an ActiveX Scripting Engine produced by the company ActiveState for use with Microsoft's Internet Information Services that allows for programmers to use -based code in addition to, or in place of, or in the context of web servers running the protocol.

Subsequently Apache::ASP was created for the web server, which allows for coding with only Perl, but neither VBScript nor JScript. Similar to VBScript, PerlScript can also be used to write programs for Windows Script Host .
