Subject: CGI::Maypole example needs template_root
CGI::Maypole has a one page pod, implying that it is simple and easy to use. But the example on the page (about all there is on the page!) doesn't work when typed in. All that is needed is a single additional line: BeerDB->config->{template_root} = "/var/www/beerdb/"; What would also be useful is a statement like: Now to access the beer database, type this URL into your browser: http://your.site/cgi-bin/beer.cgi/frontpage These two simple changes could change a novice's experience of the install from a nightmare to a dream.
