DESCRIPTION
   Poet is a modern Perl web framework designed especially for Mason
   developers. It uses PSGI/Plack for server integration, Mason for request
   routing and templating, and a selection of best-of-breed CPAN modules
   for caching, logging and configuration.

FEATURES
   *   A common-sense directory hierarchy for web development

   *   A configuration system that scales elegantly with multiple coders
       and multiple layers (development/production)

   *   Integration with Log4perl for logging, wrapped with dead-simple
       configuration

   *   Integration with CHI for powerful and flexible caching

   *   The power of Mason, an object-oriented templating system, for
       request routing and content generation

   *   Easy access to common objects and utilities from anywhere in your
       application

   *   Conventions and defaults based on the author's best practices from
       over fifteen years of Perl web development; and

   *   The freedom to override just about any of Poet's behaviors

DOCUMENTATION
   All documentation is indexed at Poet::Manual.
