*see original email below* Hello Horng-Twu I was evaluating tools like silverstream then I dropped over Mason. I rejoiced a) Perl is my native IT language b) the system is not a blackbox like the products promoted with bells and whistles. After studying the excellent manual I went on a research on similar systems and I dropped over embperl. So I installed and compared. I preferred the syntax of Mason, the flexible way to build components, the caching ... it have to be said here that I choose Mason ... my arguments might be not independent :-) I can say that Mason is fine integrated in mod_perl. I use Dreamweaver for the publishers and the <% and <& commands are properly displayed as ASP-icons. I use it with Modules Apache::Session, Apache::Cookie, Net::SMTP ... Of course Mason-CM is cool!

Can someone shed some light about these two tools with regard to ease of use, current development effort, and the future support level? Thanks, Steve Lihn =========== end original ============
