migrating asp pages into presentation templates

System

Newbie to templating. Read "teamsite templating developers guide". Do not know any perl language and my immediate task is to convert the existing .ASP pages into interwoven.
In the real world, can I develop the ASP page using interdev and then bring that file into interwoven presentation template and make changes to it? Bascially I am trying to avoid using perl.
is it possible at all? can someone give me an example asp page which was moved to presentation template.

thanks in advance
regards

You don't need to change your existing ASP code. All you'd do to generate a .ASP file from templating is:

1. Copy an existing, working version of your .ASP file into your workarea, into a /templatedata/cat/type/presentation directory, and change it's extension to .tpl.
2. replace "dynamic" content with <iw_value> elements. This is usually (but not always) in the HTML parts of the ASP file.
3. Make sure your TS server is set up to virtualize ASP--there are several good KB articles on this on the support site. This is optional, but very useful.

And that's it. You don't need to use perl.
