It may, perhaps, be rude to answer a question with a question, but I certainly think it in the spirit of the Monastery:

Why would the mod_perl requirement dissuade you from learning HTML::Mason?

I can think of a few possibilities. One, that you feel a bit daunted by the task of learning two new systems whereas HTML::Template does not require that extra bit of work. This is a valid objection, and if you are very eager to get a templating system under your belt, certainly work on HTML::Template first, but put both mod_perl and Mason on your to-do list.

My second thought is that you may not be interested in learning mod_perl because you may not think it applies to what you're doing right now. That may very well be true, but it never hurts to learn something new. You can always find new places to apply knowledge, and acquiring more never hurts.
