63 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
64 | |
65 | Catalyst is based upon L<Maypole>, which you should consider for smaller |
66 | projects. |
67 | |
68 | The key concept of Catalyst is DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself). |
69 | |
70 | See L<Catalyst::Manual> for more documentation. |
71 | |

72 | Catalyst plugins can be loaded by naming them as arguments to the "use Catalyst" statement. |
73 | Omit the C<Catalyst::Plugin::> prefix from the plugin name, |
74 | so C<Catalyst::Plugin::My::Module> becomes C<My::Module>. |
fc7ec1d9 |
75 | |
76 | use Catalyst 'My::Module'; |
77 | |
23f9d934 |
78 | Special flags like -Debug and -Engine can also be specifed as arguments when |
79 | Catalyst is loaded: |
fc7ec1d9 |
80 | |
81 | use Catalyst qw/-Debug My::Module/; |
82 | |
23f9d934 |
83 | The position of plugins and flags in the chain is important, because they are |
84 | loaded in exactly the order that they appear. |
fc7ec1d9 |
85 | |
23f9d934 |
86 | The following flags are supported: |
87 | |
88 | =over 4 |
89 | |
90 | =item -Debug |
91 | |
92 | enables debug output, i.e.: |
fc7ec1d9 |
93 | |
94 | use Catalyst '-Debug'; |
95 | |
23f9d934 |
96 | this is equivalent to: |
fc7ec1d9 |
97 | |
98 | use Catalyst; |
99 | sub debug { 1 } |
100 | |
23f9d934 |
101 | =item -Engine |
fc7ec1d9 |
102 | |
103 | Force Catalyst to use a specific engine. |
23f9d934 |
104 | Omit the C<Catalyst::Engine::> prefix of the engine name, i.e.: |
fc7ec1d9 |
105 | |
106 | use Catalyst '-Engine=CGI'; |
