Please point me to a tutorial on asp

[billhorne at attbi.com (billhorne at attbi.com)]

"ASP" is a misnomer. I don't care *how* I do it, just 
that I'm able to get it done. I tried a couple of simple 
things in PHP last night, but have been too busy to go 
further.

If Perl/CGI is the recommended solution, I'll use that; 
ditto, PHP. I don't want to start a holy war, but I'd 
like to learn the "standard" way of doing things.

TIA.

Bill
P.S. I'm replying via a web interface from school: if it 
top-posts, apologies in advance.
