I need to write a web service and am undecided as to whether I should use Perl or ASP.NET with Mono (Java is out of the running altogether). My biggest concern is compatibility; I don%26#039;t know what kind of hosting the customer is willing to dish out for yet, so I want it to be able to run (with minimal modifications) on IIS or Apache. How good is Apache%26#039;s mod_mono in terms of speed and reliability? Is implementing Perl%26#039;s SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Apache module a nightmare? Is Perl going to cause trouble if the service%26#039;s consumer is a C# program running on Windows? I%26#039;ll give points to the most detailed answer, not the timeliest one.

Perl%26#039;s soap::lite will talk to anybody! a few tweaks and it will talk to the pickiest soapers!
ASP is a dead end in microsoft land. I%26#039;d stay away, unless you have dozens of programmers to back you up tracking down MS bugs!

You shouldn%26#039;t encounter compatibility problems. It%26#039;s all just XML; so long as it%26#039;s well-formed, it should be fine.
It is also amusing how willing some people are to make themselves look foolish, just to badmouth Microsoft.
