-Net::Server - Extensible, general Perl network server engine.
+"Net::Server" attempts to be a generic server as in "Net::Daemon" and
+"NetServer::Generic". It includes with it the ability to run as an inetd
+process ("Net::Server::INET"), a single connection server ("Net::Server"
+or "Net::Server::Single"), a forking server ("Net::Server::Fork"), a
+preforking server which maintains a constant number of preforked
+children ("Net::Server::PreForkSimple"), or as a managed preforking
+server which maintains the number of children based on server load
+("Net::Server::PreFork"). In all but the inetd type, the server provides
+the ability to connect to one or to multiple server ports.
+
+"Net::Server" is built around a common class (Net::Server) and is
+extended using sub classes, or "personalities". Each personality
+inherits, overrides, or enhances the base methods of the base class.
