Mason or Registry?

Mason or Registry?

Hello,

One of our customers run a small site (about 3000 IP each day),
written with Perl CGI originally.
Now to expand some features and improve the performance, they want to
upgrade the site.
So do you think which is better that it will be re-written with pure
modperl (for example, using Mason), or keep CGI and move them to
modperl Registry?

Any suggestions are welcome.Thanks.

If you are going to do a rewrite I would suggest a more modern
framework. Most people that use Mason these days use it as a templating
engine and that can even be done inside of a framework like Catalyst or
CGI::Application.

This is probably the biggest bang for the buck. I wouldn't recommend it
as a way to start a new application, but for migrating an existing
application its a very good choice.
