Hmm. You've convinced me to take a look at Mason for my views. I've done
the most of my development in Interchange, whose mini-lang I've become
quite comfortable with. Runners up being php and CGI.pm.

When I started playing with Catalyst, I started with TT in the tutorial
and have gone with it since then. I think I might like Mason better.
