what are the differences between using, say CGI::Application and HTML::Mason? I'm guessing it has to do with code separation?

I didn't do CGI::Application so far (should I give it a try?) - but envision it as a all-or-nothing solution for a given web project - whereas Mason is conceptually a lightweight thing close to PHP or JSP and can even be used as an additional templating system for big ships like Catalyst sites.

see: Comparison

Another thing: I use both, PHP and Perl (and several other tools too) - and I think PHP *is* an appropriate solution for most small Web projects where the client is hosted on a cheap server (running *only* PHP, of course). Another Comparison (register w/fantasy name to download ;-).

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
