cianoz has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have developed a few sites with Apache::ASP and i feel confortable with it, It has a lot of nice features like Session/Application objects, events, Cookieless sessions, and so on.
I notice a lot of people are using HTML::Mason
I have no experience with this tool, are there any particular advantages in HTML::Mason over Apache::ASP or is just the word ASP to scare peoples? :-)

    You're absolutly right. ASP scares people. I have limited experience with Mason. But I got experience with ASP and actually I tend to avoid using it. The concepts of ASP are good but I find them limited.

    There is no real battle of Mason vs. ASP. The battle as I would describe it is more of EmbPerl vs. ASP/PHP. For what I know om Mason it is more for "Templating" with the aid of perl than embedding script in tags at the server.

    But this is an abstraction of my mind, not the true image in it self... (it means that it is what Mason looks like it was designed for templating and not embedding, that it doesn't embed stuff in HTML with perl as it clearly does... ;) )

      Ok, Mason is a different beast, Main advantages of EmbPerl over ASP? (Apache::ASP of course, i don't ever consider IIS/ASP + VisualBasic as a possibility...)
