-=======================
+NAME
+    Maypole - MVC web application framework
 
-The README is used to introduce the module and provide instructions on
-how to install the module, any machine dependencies it may have (for
-example C compilers and installed libraries) and any other information
-that should be provided before the module is installed.
+DESCRIPTION
+    Maypole is a Perl framework for MVC-oriented web applications, similar
+    to Jakarta's Struts or Ruby on Rails. Maypole is designed to minimize 
+    coding requirements for creating simple web interfaces to databases, 
+    while remaining flexible enough to support enterprise web applications.
 
-A README file is required for CPAN modules since CPAN extracts the
-README file from a module distribution so that people browsing the
-archive can use it get an idea of the modules uses. It is usually a
-good idea to provide version information here so that people can
-decide whether fixes for the module are worth downloading.
