31 =head1 Stem.pm - A Network Application Toolkit and Framework
33 This module load these core Stem modules:
35 Stem::Util ; # support utilities
36 Stem::Class ; # object constructor
37 Stem::Event ; # event loop
38 Stem::Msg ; # message creation and delivery
39 Stem::Route ; # message routing
40 Stem::Vars ; # stem environment
41 Stem::Conf ; # configuration file handling
42 Stem::Log ; # logging services
44 You can create a script and just use Stem.pm (see the tests in t/ for
45 some examples) but most Stem applications will use the startup script
46 <B>run_stem</B> which loads this module and your configuration files.
