Hi Robert,
I don't have a lot of experience with mason, but I know mod_perl,
Apache and Perl very very well.
I've built a majority of the ValueClick banner serving system; all
built in Perl and using mod_perl for the frontend engine. It's
currently serving more than 75 million impressions a day.
My rate is $120 per hour and I am generally available to "go in
action" with a few hours warning. My email reponse time will typical
be very short too.
Let me know if you have any questions.
