As Tom pointed out below:

> <a href="https://ourRT/Ticket/History.html?id=<https://ourrt/Ticket/History.html?id=>
".$id
Is invalid Mason.

When you want to add the value os one of your Perl variables to the output
that you're generating [and that's really the whole point of Mason, isn't
it? ],
you need to use the Mason Tag Syntax and set your access to Perl variables
between a <% %> pair of tag symbols.  So, as Tom also pointed out,  your
code above needs to look like this code:

> <a href="https://ourRT/Ticket/History.html?id=<https://ourrt/Ticket/History.html?id=><%
$id %>"

As for buying the book, there is a "read it online" link in the box on the
right side, which will take you to an online HTML version of the book that
you can use for reference at  http://masonbook.com/book/
