I know next to nothing about your old platform, but there is not problem in serving .asp files from Apache. There are generally no magic file extensions on Linux, so it doesn't matter what you call the files. Just tell Apache that .asp files are to be handled by whatever content handler you like. It could be static files, perl, php, whatever.

There even is an ASP module for Apache, so you could continue using ASP. There is no VBscript, though, so it is an ASP framework with perl embedded.

Personally I would highly recommend mod_perl and HTML::Mason as a development platform for making dynamic sites under Linux, but there are a million other possibilities. PHP is a perfectly valid choice.
