Mason (Perl)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mason is the name of a Perl-based web site development and delivery engine. Its features make it an ideal backend for high load sites serving dynamic content, such as online newspapers or database driven e-commerce sites. Several popular web sites including Amazon.com[1][2] and del.icio.us[3] are powered by Mason. An extensive list of sites using Mason can be found at Mason HQ.

The general style of Mason is similar to StoryServer or even PHP, but Mason uses Perl as its control language, and as such can use almost any CPAN Module.

Mason can be used as a module in an Apache Webserver, or as a CGI program.
