Re: HTML::Mason and IIS

[MeowChow]

If performance under IIS is an issue, have you considered making use of either Velocigen or ActivePerl's freebie "Perl for ISAPI"?

You may also want to consider embPerl , as HTML::Mason is as much a template language as it is a framework for building component-based sites, and thus could cause much strife among your web-designers.

Update: I completely forgot about PerlScript, which is another ovious choice for dynamic content under IIS.

I completely forgot about PerlScript, which is another ovious choice for dynamic content under IIS.

As I mentionned in a recent note, perl needs to be installed on every machine you plan to make PerlScript run, and if it's a large scale project I'm not sure everybody will love to get it installed on their machine just to run some scripts. (Even if I think that *everybody* should have a perl on hisd computer)

It needs to be installed on every machine, if you're using client-side scripting. Mason is server-side, unless you decide to get really fancy and push Perl scripts to the client. Then you'd need to install PerlScript on all client machines. Otherwise, this is a non-issue, since PerlScript installs along with ActiveState Perl.
