I'm pleased to announce Mason 2, the first major version of Mason in ten =
years:

http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Mason

Mason is a templating framework for generating web pages and other =
dynamic content. Mason 2 has been rearchitected and reimplemented from =
the ground up, to take advantage of modern Perl technique and to correct =
long-standing feature and syntax inadequacies. More information at

http://www.openswartz.com/2011/02/21/announcing-mason-2/

While Mason 1 was fairly mod_perl centric, Mason 2 connects with =
mod_perl (and other backends) via PSGI/Plack:

http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Mason::Plugin::PSGIHandler

Give it a try and post feedback here or on the Mason mailing list =
(https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mason-users).

Best
Jon

I hope my inability to access that is because it's got a slashdotting and g=
enerating a lot of interest.

A quicky - for someone who never used Mason 1, is it best to just pretend M=
ason 1 didn't exist and jump into Mason 2?

That would be fantastic, but somewhat doubtful. More likely my blog =
server is underpowered. :) Try now?

Definitely, in terms of using it. But most existing documentation, =
articles, etc. will be about Mason 1, so if you read any of that, it'll =
be helpful to know the differences.
