=head1 NAME
-Maypole::Application - all in wonder front-end
+Maypole::Application - Maypole Universal Frontend
=head1 SYNOPSIS
- use base 'Maypole::Application';
+ use Maypole::Application;
+
+ use Maypole::Application qw(Config::YAML);
+
+ use Maypole::Application qw(-Debug Config::YAML -Setup);
+
+ use Maypole::Application qw(Config::YAML Loader -Setup -Debug);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
-The all in wonder front-end.
+This is a universal frontend for mod_perl1, mod_perl2 and CGI.
+
+You can omit the Maypole::Plugin:: prefix from plugins.
+So Maypole::Plugin::Config::YAML becomes Config::YAML.
+
+ use Maypole::Application qw(Config::YAML);
+
+You can also set special flags like -Setup and -Debug.
+
+ use Maypole::Application qw(-Debug Config::YAML -Setup);
+
+The position of plugins and flags in the chain is important,
+because they are loaded/executed in the same order they appear.
+
+=head2 -Setup
+
+ use Maypole::Application qw(-Setup);
+
+is equivalent to
+
+ use Maypole::Application;
+ MyApp->setup;
+
+=head2 -Debug
+
+ use Maypole::Application qw(-Debug);
+
+is equivalent to
+
+ use Maypole::Application;
+ sub debug { 1 }
