compile a single ASP.NET (.aspx) page from the command line

I have a Perl script that calls aspnet_compiler.exe to compile a large ASP.NET website. The problem is that it takes very long to run. Is there any way to compile just a single .aspx file from the comm开发者_StackOverflow社区and line? (I think that would suit the needs of my script) It seems that all aspnet_compiler.exe can do is compile at a directory level.

take a look at batched compilation (its configurable in the web.config)

Any particular reason you are using Perl for this? Have you looked at MSBUILD?
