Anyone have been using the perl module HTML::Mason and care to comments how it compare to Frontier?

Mason is a fully componentized system. Web pages are built from one or more Mason components. Each component may contain several subcomponents. A component may consist of static HTML, text or graphics generated dynamically by a Perl subroutine, or any mixture of the two. Components can take arguments, and have the ability to process CGI parameters, as well. - Lincoln D. Stein

It look like an interesting CMS but not elegant as Frontier (but I just perused the doc). It must be very powerful since it was developed by CMP Media and used on their own sites like TechWeb and InformationWeek.

It has also remote management system:
