=head1 DESCRIPTION

Catalyst is based upon L<Maypole>, which you should consider for smaller
projects.

The key concept of Catalyst is DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself).

See L<Catalyst::Manual> for more documentation.

Catalyst plugins can be loaded by naming them as arguments to the "use Catalyst" statement.
Omit the C<Catalyst::Plugin::> prefix from the plugin name,
so C<Catalyst::Plugin::My::Module> becomes C<My::Module>.

    use Catalyst 'My::Module';

Special flags like -Debug and -Engine can also be specifed as arguments when
Catalyst is loaded:

    use Catalyst qw/-Debug My::Module/;

The position of plugins and flags in the chain is important, because they are
loaded in exactly the order that they appear.

The following flags are supported:

=over 4

=item -Debug

enables debug output, i.e.:

    use Catalyst '-Debug';

this is equivalent to:

    use Catalyst;
    sub debug { 1 }

=item -Engine

Force Catalyst to use a specific engine.
Omit the C<Catalyst::Engine::> prefix of the engine name, i.e.:

    use Catalyst '-Engine=CGI';

=item $c->engine

Contains the engine class.

=item $c->log

Contains the logging object.  Unless it is already set Catalyst sets this up with a
C<Catalyst::Log> object.  To use your own log class:

    $c->log( MyLogger->new );
    $c->log->info("now logging with my own logger!");

Your log class should implement the methods described in the C<Catalyst::Log>
man page.

=item $c->plugin( $name, $class, @args )

Instant plugins for Catalyst.
Classdata accessor/mutator will be created, class loaded and instantiated.

    MyApp->plugin( 'prototype', 'HTML::Prototype' );

    $c->prototype->define_javascript_functions;
