+    (description "@code{HTTP::Lite} is a stand-alone lightweight
+HTTP/1.1 implementation for perl.  It is intended for use in
+situations where it is desirable to install the minimal number of
+modules to achieve HTTP support.  @code{HTTP::Lite} is ideal for
+CGI (or mod_perl) programs or for bundling for redistribution with
+larger packages where only HTTP GET and POST functionality are
+necessary.  @code{HTTP::Lite} is compliant with the Host header,
+necessary for name based virtual hosting, and supports proxies.
+Additionally, @code{HTTP::Lite} supports a callback to allow
+processing of request data as it arrives.")
