Re: HTML::Mason and IIS

If performance under IIS is an issue, have you considered making use of either Velocigen or ActivePerl's freebie "Perl for ISAPI"?

You may also want to consider embPerl , as HTML::Mason is as much a template language as it is a framework for building component-based sites, and thus could cause much strife among your web-designers.

Update: I completely forgot about PerlScript, which is another ovious choice for dynamic content under IIS.

I completely forgot about PerlScript, which is another ovious choice for dynamic content under IIS. As I mentionned in a recent note, perl needs to be installed on every machine you plan to make PerlScript run, and if it's a large scale project I'm not sure everybody will love to get it installed on their machine just to run some scripts.

It needs to be installed on every machine, if you're using client-side scripting. Mason is server-side, unless you decide to get really fancy and push Perl scripts to the client. Then you'd need to install PerlScript on all client machines. Otherwise, this is a non-issue, since PerlScript installs along with ActiveState Perl.	[reply]
