I use mmm-mode sometimes.  It works pretty well for Mason files (perl
code embedded in html-like coding), which is what it was originally
designed for.  I believe it's the oldest and probably most mature
multi-mode package.

I don't know anything about mumamo: mmm-mode works well enough that I've 
never seen any need to try any of the other ways.
