Ask HN: Web Frameworks for Perl

I haven't seen Mason (http://www.masonhq.com/) mentioned yet. I was hoping someone else would mention it because I don't feel I can properly represent it. I only played around with it; nothing substantial. But I liked it (for what that's worth).

You'll see some names here of sites that use it that you'll recognize: http://www.masonhq.com/?MasonPoweredSites (Amazon.com being one of the most notable).

And of course you can use Mason with Catalyst: http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Catalyst::View::Mason

In this scope it's just another view like http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Catalyst::View::TT , http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Catalyst::View::XSLT or others http://search.cpan.org/search?query=Catalyst::View::

Mason is a really excellent templating system. I can't recommend it highly enough for that purpose.

(It is also handy for abstracting away mod_perl2, CGI, and FastCGI with a uniform interface.)

I used this, although it was many moons ago when I was a junior developer. It was easy to grok from a development perspective, but I've not had to manage an installation.
