You can write ASP in a few languages. VBScript, JScript, PerlScript (YES!), PythonScript (YES!), etc. ASP is basically just a collection of objects to be called by the program (the Response, Request, Server, Session, Application, and ObjectContext objects last I checked). Of course, most ASP code is written in VBScript, which on the one hand is easy to learn, and on the other hand suffers from some crippling limitations (most VBScript developer look at PHP code that says 'include("$file.php");' and just scream 'conditional includes! AIIEEE!')
And yes, Chilli!ASP does work. But it is crap, crap, and crap again. As is ASP2PHP, which is the tool you wanted.
(Actually, I'm being a bit harsh there. Chilli!ASP is alright, as long as you're not writing software for IIS as well. ASP2PHP works, but is nowhere near good PHP standards.
