+=head1 NAME
+
+Catalyst::Manual::Plugins - Catalyst Plugins (and Components)
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This section lists the some of the plugins and components that are
+available to extend the runtime functionality of Catalyst. Most plugins
+are not distributed with Catalyst but should be available from CPAN.
+They typically require additional modules from CPAN.
+
+This list may well be outdated by the time you read this and some
+plugins may be deprecated or now part of core L<Catalyst>. Be sure to
+check the Catalyst::Plugin namespace for additional plugins and consult
+the mailing list ( L<http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/wiki/Support> ) for
+advice on the current status or preferred use of your chosen
+plugin/framework.

+things such as email forms.
+
+=head2 L<Catalyst::Plugin::PageCache>

+creation.
+
+=head2 L<Catalyst::Plugin::Textile>

+
+=head1 MODELS
+
+=head2 L<Catalyst::Model::CDBI>
+
+The C<Class::DBI> (CDBI) model class. It is built on top of
+C<Class::DBI::Loader>, which automates the definition of C<Class::DBI>
+sub-classes by scanning the underlying table schemas, setting up columns
+and primary keys.
+
+=head2 L<Catalyst::Model::CDBI::Plain>
+
+A neutral interface to the C<Class::DBI> module which does not attempt
+to automate table setup. It allows the user to manually set up
+C<Class::DBI> classes, either by doing so within the Catalyst model
+classes themselves, or by inheriting from existing C<Class::DBI>
+classes.
+
+=head2 L<Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema>
+
+A L<DBIx::Class> model class that can use either an explicit
+L<DBIx::Class::Schema> or one automatically loaded from your database
