I'd highly recommend checking out the Catalyst Framework http://www.catalystframework.org/ Even some of the Mason developers use it With Catalyst you'll use Mason as a page rendering engine, not as a URL dispatcher. Catalyst will do the work of taking apart URLs, pulling out arguments and passing them to Mason (or Template Toolkit or whatever rendering engine you prefer to use). Mason components are then completely decoupled from URL construction, unless you choose to have them follow it. Catalyst has a rich set of plugins that provide support for sessions, authentication and authorization and many other things. I switched form pure Mason development to using Catalyst and am very happy that I did. - john romkey http://www.romkey.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
