I don't.  I have asked before what people though regarding the most 
common use for Mason.  I do not deny it is used for non-web 
applications.  Several people in the past pointed out that they use it 
for other types of content generation.

language with tools that generate config files.  That said, I'm all for 
having HTML filters in the core, although I'm not actually using Mason 2 
for anything right now."


However, in my opinion, I believe that Mason is used *most of the time* 
for web content.  I do not have any real statistics to support that, 
just my experience with it, and what I read on this list.

So, I will ask once again, what percentage of the time do people use 
Mason for web versus non-web generation?


Perl claims to make easy things easy and hard things possible.  If Mason 
is used most of the time for web content generation, then it should have 
defaults set for web output with ways to override that for those _once 
in a lifetime_ type projects, like your Fedora install script.

Cheers.
