HTML::Embperl is for web-designers-turned-active-page-scripters.
HTML::Mason is for programmers-turned-programmable-web-page-hackers

They both cover similar problem spaces, but Mason gives you more of the power
in exchange for taking a little more of the responsibility.

Here's a quick check to tell which one of those will work:

        If you ever feel the need to "edit" your pages with "an HTML
        editor", pick HTML::Embperl.

Trust me on this test.  It's pretty accurate. :)
