    Hi!

    I have heard that ASP is less secure than other script languages
    such as PHP and Perl. Is this true? I think PHP and Perl is be much
    more insecure since they for example allow execution of system command
    based on user input via backticks (`).

    Can anyone give examples of security flaws in ASP.

    Thanks!

    /Erik
