NAME
Catalyst::Manual - User guide and reference for Catalyst

DESCRIPTION
This is the (table of contents page of the) comprehensive user guide and reference for Catalyst.

IMPORTANT NOTE
If you need to read the Catalyst Manual make sure that you have Catalyst::Manual installed from cpan. To check that it is installed run the following command from a unix (bash) prompt:

 $ perldoc -t Catalyst::Manual::Tutorial::CatalystBasics 2>&1 >/dev/null && echo OK || echo MISSING

If you see "OK" as the output, it's there, if you see "MISSING" you need to install the Catalyst::Manual distribution (<http://search.cpan.org/dist/Catalyst-Manual/>).
