Web::Simple - A quick and easy way to build simple web applications
-=head1 WARNING
-
-This is really quite new. If you're reading this on CPAN, it means the stuff
-that's here we're probably happy with. But only probably. So we may have to
-change stuff. And if you're reading this from git, come check with irc.perl.org
-#web-simple that we're actually sure we're going to keep anything that's
-different from the CPAN version.
-
-If we do find we have to change stuff we'll add to the
-L<CHANGES BETWEEN RELEASES> section explaining how to switch your code across
-to the new version, and we'll do our best to make it as painless as possible
-because we've got Web::Simple applications too. But we can't promise not to
-change things at all. Not yet. Sorry.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
that you did 'use Web::Simple' in, then your application will die. This is,
so far, considered a feature.
-When we inherit from L<Web::Simple::Application> we also use <Moo>, which is
+When we inherit from L<Web::Simple::Application> we also use L<Moo>, which is
the the equivalent of:
{
/foo/ # match and strip path to '/'
/foo/bar/baz # match and strip path to '/bar/baz'
+Note: Since Web::Simple handles a concept of file extensions, * and **
+matchers will not by default match things after a final dot, and this
+can be modified by using *.* and **.* in the final position, i.e.:
+
+ /one/* matches /one/two.three and captures "two"
+ /one/*.* matches /one/two.three and captures "two.three"
+ /** matches /one/two.three and captures "one/two"
+ /**.* matches /one/two.three and captures "one/two.three"

=head3 Extension matches
sub (.html) {
order you defined them in the protoype, but all hashrefs will merge into a
single C<$params>, as in the example above.
+=head3 Upload matches (EXPERIMENTAL)
+
+Note: This feature is experimental. This means that it may not remain
+100% in its current form. If we change it, notes on updating your code
+will be added to the L</CHANGES BETWEEN RELEASES> section below.
+
+ sub (*foo=) { # param specifier can be anything valid for query or body
+
+The upload match system functions exactly like a query/body match, except
+that the values returned (if any) are C<Web::Dispatch::Upload> objects.
+
+Note that this match type will succeed in two circumstances where you might
+not expect it to - first, when the field exists but is not an upload field
+and second, when the field exists but the form is not an upload form (i.e.
+content type "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" rather than
+"multipart/form-data"). In either of these cases, what you'll get back is
+a C<Web::Dispatch::NotAnUpload> object, which will C<die> with an error
+pointing out the problem if you try and use it. To be sure you have a real
+upload object, call
+
+ $upload->is_upload # returns 1 on a valid upload, 0 on a non-upload field
+
+and to get the reason why such an object is not an upload, call
+
+ $upload->reason # returns a reason or '' on a valid upload.
+
+Other than these two methods, the upload object provides the same interface
+as L<Plack::Request::Upload> with the addition of a stringify to the temporary
+filename to make copying it somewhere else easier to handle.
+
=head3 Combining matches
Matches may be combined with the + character - e.g.
drive me insane was rather nice and decided to spend my attempt at nanowrimo
for 2009 improving and documenting it to the point where others could use it.
