Mason basically works by translating "templates" into Perl code.
Each such template ("component" in Mason lingo) may contain specific
syntax determining what's replaceable (i.e. code - as are lines that
begin with "%"), EVERYTHING else is left as is.
Mason does NOT assume that whitespace is insignificant.
So, the generated code for those 3 lines will look something like this:
1. }
2. $output .= "\n";
3. elsif ($dosomethingelse) {

Please don't try to twist this into whatever your magic ball tells you to :(
I can comprehend the annoyance you felt when "discovering" the source
of your error, but IMO this has nothing to do with "traps", "common"
or otherwise. :(
