I have been using Mason for years in several smaller and medium-sized projects, both private and professionally, and it has served my needs very well. Like you, I have been contemplating using more 'modern perl-based web frameworks' like Catalyst, Jifty, or CGI::Application several times, but I still haven't convinced myself that they are better suited for my needs. I find that these frameworks contain too much magic, results in fragmentation of components, and often solves problems that I haven't faced yet. I keep hearing good things about Catalyst, so I guess there must be something I am not grasping. Reading the Catalyst book didn't help, either. I might give Catalyst a new chance when the new book has arrived. - Vegard V - (still using Mason, and proud of it too) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Mason-users mailing list Mason-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mason-users
