-
-Web::Simple was originally written to form part of my Antiquated Perl talk for
-Italian Perl Workshop 2009, but in writing the bloggery example I realised
-that having a bare minimum system for writing web applications that doesn't

-for 2009 improving and documenting it to the point where others could use it.

The philosophy of Web::Simple is to keep to an absolute bare minimum, for
everything. It is not designed to be used for large scale applications;
