SYNOPSIS

Please see the file Rosetta::Framework.pod for a SYNOPSIS.

DESCRIPTION

The Rosetta class currently has little functionality of its own, but rather mainly exists to help the CPAN indexers and users find the actual main documentation for the Rosetta framework, which starts in the file "Rosetta::Framework.pod". Similarly, the CPAN indexers like to find a module with the same name as the distribution in order to extract the single-line module summary for the distribution, from the module's NAME section; that is provided here. Please see the file "Rosetta::Framework.pod" for the main Rosetta purpose and design documentation.

SYNTAX

This class does not export any functions or methods, so you need to call them using object notation. This means using Class->function() for functions and $object->method() for methods. If you are inheriting this class for your own modules, then that often means something like $self->method().

FUNCTIONS AND METHODS

new(...)

This is a mere convenience function and it does the exact same thing as calling Rosetta::Engine->new(), which you should actually be using instead. Please see the POD in the Rosetta::Engine module for details on its use.
