Welcome to Mason and Poet

Mason is a powerful Perl-based templating system
for generating HTML or other dynamic content. It has
powered thousands of web sites over the past 15 years,
including Amazon.com
and Salon.com.
Poet is a modern companion web framework for Mason.
Integrated by some of the best website builders, it uses PSGI/Plack
for server integration and a selection of best-of-breed CPAN modules for caching,
logging and configuration. All of this gives best-in-breed technology to everyone, even those just learning how to make a website.
Mason can also be used as the templating layer for other Perl web frameworks
like
Catalyst
and Dancer.
