DESCRIPTION
Apache2::ASP scales out well and has brought the ASP programming model
to Perl in a new way.
This rewrite had a few major goals:
* Master Pages
Like ASP.Net has, including nested Master Pages.
* Partial-page caching
Like ASP.Net has.
* Better configuration
The original config format was unsatisfactory.
* Handle multiple VirtualHosts better.
Configuration was the root of this problem.
NOTE: If you use an ORM, make sure your ORM doesn't have any
"global" configuration object in memory, unless it is schema-aware.
DBIx::Class is good and Class::DBI::Lite also works well with
Apache2::ASP. Do not use Class::DBI with Apache2::ASP because of
configuration overlap problems which arise when you have 2 tables
with the same name in 2 different databases.
* Better performance
Server resources were being wasted on unnecessary activities like
storing session state even when it had not changed, etc.
