I've been trying to be good, and seperate content from presentation.
But since starting using Mason, I find that's much harder to do?  Yes
Mason is hailed often as a Very Good Thing(tm), so am I missing
something?  Most of the actual logic in my code sits in Class::DBI

point that if I had a HTML Jocky working with me, they'd have to
understand Mason at least somewhat.

Am I missing something?
