In case you haven't seen it, Simon Cozens posted a nice set of example
code and a very helpful 25 page PDF file explaining a lot about how
Maypole works.  I found it very handy:

Can we get Simon's permission to include this tutorial in the Maypole documentation? At first glance (I'll read it in full later) it looks like it will be invaluable

Cool. THanks.  I'm a little confused about something in the Static
pages section , p. 24 of the PDF.  He says "We don't want static pages
like the CSS processed through the whole Maypole system . . . "   What
exactly does he mean about CSS being processed through Maypole?  My
css is strictly in the HTML or so i think.


I think that he means that if you're path to your app is /path/to/app and you have content that's served in the normal (apache httpd no-mod-perl) way at /path/to/app/static, (so going to http://your.site/path/to/ap/static/doc.html serves up the doc without going through the stuff in Maypole::Manual::Request) , you can bypass the creation of a $r object by ignoring it in Maypole through the way he suggests.


Also, I guess the strict definition of a static page is that there is
no concept of even a user.

I think the strict definition of a static page is that it is pre-generated - that is, not served up by some kind of computer program, even though it might have been generated by a computer program at some point in the past. There might be an interaction between the session cookies served up in the static page and the dynamic pages that do create some kind of user concept. Not that I understand cookies and sessions very well ...
