HTML::Mason

Updated: 09/12/2023 by Computer Hope

HTML::Mason, or Mason for short, is a web application framework distributed on CPAN (comprehensive Perl archive network) and used for websites providing dynamic content to viewers. HTML::Mason is written in the Perl programming language and is designed to work with Apache HTTP Server using mod_perl. It also supports CGI (common gateway interface) scripting, allowing it to run on web servers with CGI enabled.

The nature and use of HTML::Mason for delivering dynamic content make it an excellent choice for online news and e-commerce websites with many products. For example, Amazon.com has used HTML::Mason on its website to deliver a better e-commerce shopping experience.
