I've not used Mason, only know it by name. It's on my list of things
to look at and steal feature from. :-)

Yes. We do it both static and dynamic.

Something like this is how we build a typical minivend page:
[embed]
{
use My:Masonry;
my(@OUT);
@OUT=@{&My:Masonry::routines(my_args)};
return join '',@OUT; # You don't have a DTD yet.
# return &My::DTD(\%opt,\@OUT); # Highly recommended alternative
}
[/embed]
I do not know how fast Mason might be. You may need to modify:
[embed]
{
use My:Masonry;
my(@OUT);
push @OUT,qq`[file name='include some/file/mason/builds/every/two/hours']
@OUT=@{&My:Masonry::routines(my_args)};
push @OUT,qq`[file name='include another/file/mason/builds/every/day']
return join '',@OUT;
# return &MV::SC::dtd(\%opt,\@OUT); # Highly recommended alternative
}
[embed]
For minivend content within a static structure:
<BODY>
my
static
table
structure
is
here
#include my minivend code (the [embed]...[/embed] part above)
and
finish
my static
structure
</BODY>
and build THAT as a static file.

If any of that even makes sense to you I'd be happy to help you
out further :-). Of course, if it does make sense, then you can
probably help _me_.
Best,
