 DESCRIPTION
-    HTTP Body Parser.
+    HTTP::Body parses chunks of HTTP POST data and supports
+    application/octet-stream, application/x-www-form-urlencoded, and
+    multipart/form-data.
+
+    Chunked bodies are supported by not passing a length value to new().
+
+    It is currently used by Catalyst to parse POST bodies.
+
+NOTES
+    When parsing multipart bodies, temporary files are created to store any
+    uploaded files. You must delete these temporary files yourself after
+    processing them.
