 =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);
 
 =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;
+
+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.
+
+=head2 -Debug
+
+    use Maypole::Application qw(-Debug);
+
+is equivalent to
+
+    use Maypole::Application;
+    sub debug { 1 }
