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.

       information about Mason 1. We're not sure what the future of the website will be wrt Mason
       2.

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.
