Mason and HTML::Mason are totally different beasts internally. I don't
think you should have this as a goal. Your goal should be to make the best
Template plugin for Mason users.


 What are you thoughts on data_dir? I would like to stick with how the

I rather have the Mason default myself. The Mason documentation already
mention that you should define a data_dir to a directory somewhere if you
care about performance that much. I can say that defaulting to views/data
will not work on my apps, that part of the tree is not writable by the user
that runs the webapp.

For most common use, having a fresh data_dir on restart is actually a good
thing, it makes debugging situations with timestamps between deployed
.mc/.mi files and cached compiled objects simpler..

So I still prefer my way: kill it, let users override all config.

Bye,
