And while I'm having ideas, a Maypole::Manual::OptionalModules might be useful, with each module, and a one to two sentence description of what's available for each one.

...Thanks. Works a treat. Very obvious, but not clearly documented. I think this offers a clue as to how the documentation should evolve. Actually, I it needs to be refactored. How's this for a putative structure:

Maypole::Manual (intro)
Maypole::Manual::Example::Simple (BeerDB)
Maypole::Manual::Example::LessSimple (maybe Simon's latest example,updated, or something else)
Maypole::Manual::Application::Data (data storage)
Display (data display) Structure (best practice in terms of subclassing out the app for maintainable structure) Cookbook (including stuff like the OP)...

So a more modular documentation to ease maintainability.

I think the problem is that Simon Cozens is clearly a very talented perl programmer, and a competent technical writer. I think, documenting his own work, it tends to reflect the contents of his own mind rather more than it should, i.e. too much assumed knowledge about problems where the solution is not obvious.
