NAME

Mason::Manual::Admin - Information for Mason administrators

VERSION

version 2.00

SETUP

To serve web requests directly with Mason, use the PSGI plugin. PSGI integrates with a wide variety of server backends including mod_perl, FastCGI, CGI, and various Perl-based servers.

To use Mason as a view in a Catalyst application, use Catalyst::View::Mason2.

To use Mason from a script or library, use the Mason::Interp API:

my $interp = Mason->new(
    comp_root => '/path/to/comps',
    data_dir  => '/path/to/data',
    ...
);
my $output = $interp->run( '/request/path', foo => 5 )->output();

To try out Mason syntax from the command line, use the mason script:

% mason
2 + 2 = <% 2+2 %>
^D
2 + 2 = 4

LOGGING

Mason uses Log::Any to log various events, such as the start and end of each request. You can also log to Log::Any from a component with the $m->log method. e.g.

$m->log->error("Something bad happened!");
$m->log->debugf("Arguments for '%s' were '%s'", $func, \%args)
    if $m->log->is_debug;

See Log::Any::Adapter for how to direct these logs to an output of your choice.
