 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
-The key concept of Catalyst is DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself).
+Catalyst is a modern framework for making web applications without the
+pain usually associated with this process. This document is a reference
+to the main Catalyst application. If you are a new user, we suggest you
+start with L<Catalyst::Manual::Tutorial> or L<Catalyst::Manual::Intro>.
 
 See L<Catalyst::Manual> for more documentation.

     use Catalyst qw/My::Module/;
 
+If your plugin starts with a name other than C<Catalyst::Plugin::>, you can
+fully qualify the name by using a unary plus:
+
+    use Catalyst qw/
+        My::Module
+        +Fully::Qualified::Plugin::Name
+    /;
+
 Special flags like C<-Debug> and C<-Engine> can also be specified as
 arguments when Catalyst is loaded:
 
     use Catalyst qw/-Debug My::Module/;
 
 The position of plugins and flags in the chain is important, because

+Enables debug output. You can also force this setting from the system

+priority.
 
-Enables debug output.

-=item -Engine
+=head2 -Engine
 
 Forces Catalyst to use a specific engine. Omit the
 C<Catalyst::Engine::> prefix of the engine name, i.e.:
 
     use Catalyst qw/-Engine=CGI/;
 
-=item -Home
+=head2 -Home
 
 Forces Catalyst to use a specific home directory, e.g.:
 
-    use Catalyst qw[-Home=/usr/sri];
+    use Catalyst qw[-Home=/usr/mst];
+
+This can also be done in the shell environment by setting either the
+C<CATALYST_HOME> environment variable or C<MYAPP_HOME>; where C<MYAPP>
+is replaced with the uppercased name of your application, any "::" in
+the name will be replaced with underscores, e.g. MyApp::Web should use
+MYAPP_WEB_HOME. If both variables are set, the MYAPP_HOME one will be used.

 Returns a L<Catalyst::Action> object for the current action, which
 stringifies to the action name. See L<Catalyst::Action>.
 
-=item $c->namespace
+=head2 $c->namespace
 
-Returns the namespace of the current action, i.e., the uri prefix
+Returns the namespace of the current action, i.e., the URI prefix
 corresponding to the controller of the current action. For example:

+=head2 $c->forward( $action [, \@arguments ] )
 
-=over 4
+=head2 $c->forward( $class, $method, [, \@arguments ] )
 
-=item $c->forward( $action [, \@arguments ] )
+Forwards processing to another action, by its private name. If you give a
+class name but no method, C<process()> is called. You may also optionally
+pass arguments in an arrayref. The action will receive the arguments in
+C<@_> and C<< $c->req->args >>. Upon returning from the function,
+C<< $c->req->args >> will be restored to the previous values.
 
-=item $c->forward( $class, $method, [, \@arguments ] )
+Any data C<return>ed from the action forwarded to, will be returned by the
+call to forward.
