Absolutely. It just presented a bit of an obstacle. If this were a personal
project I'd fire up my editor and transfer code from brain, but I didn't want
to do that here. I think communicating the idea has done the trick though - I
should be able to concentrate on documentation, unit tests, etc.

To start, I'd like to get Maypole working with Devel::Cover so we can get an
idea of unit test coverage. Unfortunately, when I tried it the other day it
sat there for a long time, apparently not doing anything. It might have
something to do with UNIVERSAL::require.
