NAME
Mason - Powerful, high-performance templating for the web and beyond
SYNOPSIS
foo.mc:
% my $name = "Mason";
Hello world! Welcome to <% $name %>.
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use Mason;
my $mason = Mason->new(comp_root => '...');
print $mason->run('/foo')->output;
DESCRIPTION
Mason is a powerful Perl-based templating system, designed to generate
dynamic content of all kinds.
Unlike many templating systems, Mason does not attempt to invent an
alternate, "easier" syntax for templates. It provides a set of syntax
and features specific to template creation, but underneath it is still
clearly and proudly recognizable as Perl.
Mason is most often used for generating web pages. It has a companion
web framework, Poet, designed to take maximum advantage of its routing
and content generation features. It can also be used as the templating
layer for web frameworks such as Catalyst and Dancer.
All documentation is indexed at Mason::Manual.
The previous major version of Mason (1.x) is available under the name
HTML::Mason.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Thanks to Stevan Little and the Moose team for the awesomeness of Moose,
which motivated me to create a second version of Mason years after I
thought I was done.
Thanks to Tatsuhiko Miyagawa and the PSGI/Plack team, who freed me from
ever worrying about server backends again.
