+=head2 Configure your application
+
+You configure your application with the C<config> method in your
+application class. This can be hard-coded, or brought in from a
+separate configuration file.
+
+=head3 Using YAML
+
+YAML is a method for creating flexible and readable configuration
+files. It's a great way to keep your Catalyst application configuration
+in one easy-to-understand location.
+
+In your application class (e.g. C<lib/MyApp.pm>):
+
+  use YAML;
+  # application setup
+  __PACKAGE__->config( YAML::LoadFile(__PACKAGE__->config->{'home'} . '/myapp.yml') );
+  __PACKAGE__->setup;
+
+Now create C<myapp.yml> in your application home:
+
+  --- #YAML:1.0
+  # DO NOT USE TABS FOR INDENTATION OR label/value SEPARATION!!!
+  name:     MyApp
+
+  # authentication; perldoc Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::CDBI
+  authentication:
+    user_class:           'MyApp::M::MyDB::Customer'
+    user_field:           'username'
+    password_field:       'password'
+    password_hash:        'md5'
+    role_class:           'MyApp::M::MyDB::Role'
+    user_role_class:      'MyApp::M::MyDB::PersonRole'
+    user_role_user_field: 'person'
+
+  # session; perldoc Catalyst::Plugin::Session::FastMmap
+  session:
+    expires:        '3600'
+    rewrite:        '0'
+    storage:        '/tmp/myapp.session'
+
+  # emails; perldoc Catalyst::Plugin::Email
+  # this passes options as an array :(
+  email:
+    - SMTP
+    - localhost
+
+This is equivalent to:
+
+  # configure base package
+  __PACKAGE__->config( name => MyApp );
+  # configure authentication
+  __PACKAGE__->config->{authentication} = {
+    user_class => 'MyApp::M::MyDB::Customer',
+    ...
+  };
+  # configure sessions
+  __PACKAGE__->config->{session} = {
+    expires => 3600,
+    ...
+  };
+  # configure email sending
+  __PACKAGE__->config->{email} = [qw/SMTP localhost/];
