+=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 the Catalyst. The plugins are not
+distributed with Catalyst but should be available from CPAN.  They mostly
+required additional modules from CPAN.
+
+=head1 PLUGINS
+
+=head2 Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::CDBI
+
+This is a CDBI (C<Class::DBI>) authentication plugin.  Note that it requires a
+session plugin.
+
+=head2 Catalyst::Plugin::Email
+
+Send emails with Catalyst and L<Email::Send> and L<Email::MIME::Creator>.
+
+=head2 Catalyst::Plugin::FillInForm
+
+Fill-in form plugin for Catalyst based on C<HTML::FillInForm>, which describes
+itself as a module to automatically insert data from a previous HTML form into
+the HTML input, textarea, radio buttons, checkboxes and select tags.
+C<HTML::FillInForm> is a subclass of C<HTML::Parser> and uses it to parse the
+HTML and insert the values into the form tags.
+
+=head2 Catalyst::Plugin::FormValidator
+
+A form validator plugin that uses L<Data::FormValidator> to validate and set up
+form data from your request parameters.  It's a quite thin wrapper around that
+module, so most of the relevant information can be found there.
+
+
+=head2 Catalyst::Plugin::I18N

+Maketext classes under your applications I18N namespace.

+
+=head2 Catalyst::Plugin::Prototype
+
+Plugin for the Prototype JavaScript library.

+=head2 Catalyst::Plugin::Session::FastMmap
+

+
+
+=head2 Catalyst::Plugin::Textile

+A persistent Textile processor for Catalyst that uses C<Text::Textile>, a
+Perl-based implementation of Dean Allen's Textile syntax. Textile is shorthand
+for doing common formatting tasks (see L<http://textism.com>).
+
+
+=head2 Catalyst::Plugin::XMLRPC

+columns and primary keys.
