 =head1 NAME
 
-Maypole::Application - all in wonder front-end
+Maypole::Application - Universal Maypole 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);
+
+    use Maypole::Application qw(-Debug2 MasonX AutoUntaint);
 
 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
-The all in wonder front-end.
+This is a universal frontend for mod_perl1, mod_perl2, HTML::Mason and CGI.
+
+Automatically determines the appropriate frontend for your environment (unless
+you want to use L<MasonX::Maypole>, in which case include C<MasonX> in the
+arguments).
+
+Loads plugins supplied in the C<use> statement. 
+
+Responds to flags supplied in the C<use> statement. 
+
+Initializes the application's configuration object. 
+
+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, -Debug and -Init.
+
+    use Maypole::Application qw(-Debug Config::YAML -Setup);
+
+The position of plugins in the chain is important, because they are
+loaded/executed in the same order they appear.
+
+=head1 FRONTEND
+
+Under mod_perl (1 or 2), selects L<Apache::MVC>. 
+
+Otherwise, selects L<CGI::Maypole>.
+
+If C<MasonX> is specified, sets L<MasonX::Maypole> as the frontend. This
+currently also requires a mod_perl environment.
+
+=head1 FLAGS
+
+=over
+
+=item -Setup
+
+    use Maypole::Application qw(-Setup);
+
+is equivalent to
+
+    use Maypole::Application;
+    MyApp->setup;
+
+Note that no options are passed to C<setup()>. You must ensure that the
+required model config parameters are set in C<MyApp-E<gt>config>. See
+L<Maypole::Config> for more information.
+
+=item -Init
+
+    use Maypole::Application qw(-Setup -Init);
+    
+is equivalent to
+
+    use Maypole::Application;
+    MyApp->setup;
+    MyApp->init;
+    
+Note that the C<-Setup> flag is required for the C<-Init> flag to work.
+
+In persistent environments (e.g. C<mod_perl>), it is useful to call C<init> 
+once in the parent server, rather than at the beginning of the first request
+to each child server, in order to share the view code loaded during C<init>. 
+Note that you must supply all the config data to your app before calling 
+C<setup> and C<init>, probably by using one of the C<Maypole::Plugin::Config::*> 
+plugins.
+
+=item -Debug
+
+    use Maypole::Application qw(-Debug);
+
+is equivalent to
+
+    use Maypole::Application;
+    sub debug { 1 }
+
+You can specify a higher debug level by saying C<-Debug2> etc.
