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... ;) )
