AW: [Mapserver-users] ASP, Java, mapscript and other fun stuff

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

I could argue that friends don't let friends do IIS, but since this 
isn't a security forum, it might be lost on a few folks.

However, the fear of PHP is irrational.  I can see being an "all 
Microsoft shop" but I have trouble with the idea of bypassing useful 
tools for .Net consistency.

Convince the boss that PHP and perl aren't evil and won't taint his IIS 
(anymore than it's already compromised...).
