Can I migrate asp pages written in VBScript to linux apache 2.2 running on FC6 linux without modifying them?

If i have some pages written in ASP and is currently hosted on a windows 2003 server IIS, will I be in a position to migrate the pages to a linux platform without modifying any part of the code. I understand that Apache::ASP is only a perlscript module for apache or am i wrong in this understanding. I currently have only one page which is a form mailing out the results to myself.

If your ASP pages are written in VBScript (as most of them are), then you'll have to convert them to something else. Choices are:

1. Apache::ASP with Perl
2. PHP
3. Perl/CGI

thanks for the inputs. i know a bit of php myself but unfortunately, the website for the company is being developed by a third party who is comfortable ONLY with asp in VBScript and therefore i am caught in between. are there any ready made converters or are you suggesting that we recode (which means that i will have to sit and redo the entire site all over again which is currently around 25 pages of script).

Tintin, went through the pages. modgb is a tool that is quite "ancient" and does not understand most of the current day changes in the language and gives too many errors trying to convert/adapt to current day codes. and chilisoft is again a pay and use model :-(

i was actually looking around for a compatiable tool on linux platform. but guess, rewriting it to php / perl is the only option left.

am holding on to this page for some more time. pls bear with me... :-)
