Mason is complete and non-buggy; no particular reason for updates other than the Perl under it. PHP’s entire approach is a mess and that includes embedded code. This is why not very many of us use Mason and haven’t for a decade: it encourages a PHP-like approach. If you really like that style of code, use PHP. It drives a ton of important sites and with some discipline can be clean.
If you want to see how powerful and easy web programming can be… Catalyst, Mojolicious, Dancer2, DBIx::Class, PSGI, uwsgi+perl, etc. Learning curve but great communities, great testing tools, good awareness of best practices and security. Worth it for the long haul. Maybe not for a one-off.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
