Installing mason v1.42 from Mason HQ is quite straight-forward:
- apt-get install build-essential
- apt-get install libapache2-mod-apreq2
- apt-get install libapreq2-dev
- apt-get install libapache2-request-perl
- ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/apreq.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/apreq.load
- perl -MCPAN -eshell
- install HTML::Mason
