NAME

       Mason - Powerful, high-performance templating for the web and beyond

SYNOPSIS

         foo.mc:
           % my $name = "Mason";
           Hello world! Welcome to <% $name %>.

         #!/usr/local/bin/perl
         use Mason;
         my $mason = Mason->new(comp_root => '...');
         print $mason->run('/foo')->output;

DESCRIPTION

       Mason is a powerful Perl-based templating system, designed to generate dynamic content of all kinds.

       Unlike many templating systems, Mason does not attempt to invent an alternate, "easier" syntax for
       templates.  It provides a set of syntax and features specific to template creation, but underneath it is
       still clearly and proudly recognizable as Perl.

       Mason is most often used for generating web pages. It has a companion web framework, Poet, designed to
       take maximum advantage of its routing and content generation features.  It can also be used as the
       templating layer for web frameworks such as Catalyst and Dancer.

       All documentation is indexed at Mason::Manual.

       The previous major version of Mason (1.x) is available under the name HTML::Mason.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

       Thanks to Stevan Little and the Moose team for the awesomeness of Moose, which motivated me to create a
       second version of Mason years after I thought I was done.

       Thanks to Tatsuhiko Miyagawa and the PSGI/Plack <http://plackperl.org/> team, who freed me from ever
       worrying about server backends again.
