This module allows you to make requests to a Catalyst application either without
a server, by simulating the environment of an HTTP request using
L<HTTP::Request::AsCGI> or remotely if you define the CATALYST_SERVER
-environment variable. This module also adds a few catalyst
-specific testing methods as displayed in the method section.

-=head2 METHODS
+=head1 INLINE TESTS WILL NO LONGER WORK
+
+While it used to be possible to inline a whole testapp into a C<.t> file for a
+distribution, this will no longer work.
-=head2 get
+The convention is to place your L<Catalyst> test apps into C<t/lib> in your
+distribution. E.g.: C<t/lib/TestApp.pm>, C<t/lib/TestApp/Controller/Root.pm>,
+etc.. Multiple test apps can be used in this way.
+
+Then write your C<.t> files like so:
+
+ use strict;
+ use warnings;
+ use FindBin '$Bin';
+ use lib "$Bin/lib";
+ use Test::More tests => 6;
+ use Catalyst::Test 'TestApp';
+
