I think this poor guy was mixing up IIS/ASP with Apache::ASP, which 
is a perl native port of ASP.  PHTML sounds like Apache::SSI.  Anyhow,
he doesn't know much about what he's doing, but if wanted to learn
from the list, he could.  For starters, all of the embeded perl solutions
allow things to be done quickly and easily w/o much design.  Such
is also perl's strength & weakness, that to program well, you must have
a good programmer, but you have some very powerful tools all the same.
