[Petal] Hi Petal Users!

[Narins, Josh]

Might I suggest aliasing to p, or p5 (like the 5 petals of a simple flower,
or perl5) instead of petal all the time for many examples?

It makes it look like a lot more typing than is strictly necessary.

Just a thought.

I suppose that Petal is still under the shadow of the templating tenors,
i.e. the template toolkit or even HTML::Template. Plus, it's not gotten that
much publicity yet. Someday maybe :)

Actually I'm not very happy with the documentation - there is so much to
say! so if you have any suggestions please post them on the list.

As for working flawlessly, I'm sure that petal is completely

Just joking, it actually seems quite stablish now :-)


Thanks for your friendly message!
