-=head2 Installing Maypole
-
-The first thing you're going to need to do to get Maypole running is to
-install it. Maypole needs an absolute shedload of Perl modules from CPAN
-to do its job. I am unrepentant about this. Maypole does a lot of work,
-so that you don't have to. This is called code re-use, and if we're
-serious about code re-use, then Maypole should be re-using as much code
-as possible in terms of Perl modules. In another sense, this gives the
-impression that Maypole doesn't actually do all that much itself,
-because all it's doing is gluing together already-existing code. Well,
-welcome to code re-use.
-
-The downside of code re-use is, of course, that you then have to install
-a shedload of Perl modules from CPAN. If you're using OpenBSD or
-FreeBSD, the wonderful ports system will be your friend. There's a
-Maypole port in C<p5-Maypole>. Just type C<make install>.
-
-Debian users, hang in there. There's a package coming.
-
-For other Unices, the L<CPANPLUS> or C<CPAN> modules will help with
-this. If you don't have C<CPANPLUS> installed, my recommendation is to
-use C<perl -MCPAN -e install CPANPLUS> to install it and then throw
-C<CPAN.pm> away. In any case, one of these two should get all that
-Maypole needs:
-
-    % perl -MCPANPLUS -e 'install Maypole'
-    % perl -MCPAN -e 'install Maypole'
-
-I don't know if Maypole works on Windows. I'm not sure I care.
-
-You're also going to need a database server and a web server. For
-databases, I recommend SQLite (if you install the C<DBD::SQLite> module,
-you get the SQLite library for free) for prototyping and mysql for
-production; heavier duty users should use Postgresql or Oracle - Maypole
-should be happy with them all. Maypole is happiest when running under
-Apache C<mod_perl>, with the C<Apache::Request> module installed, but as
-I said, it is a blank slate, and everything is customizable. There is a
-C<CGI::Maypole> frontend available to run as a standalone CGI script.
-
-As well as the documentation embedded in the Perl modules the distribution
-also includes the manual, of which this is a part. You can access it using the
-perldoc command, the man command, or by browsing CPAN.
