+
+SL::Helpers::Flash - helper functions for storing messages to be
+displayed to the user
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+The flash is a store for messages that should be displayed to the
+user. Each message has a category which is usually C<information>,
+C<warning> or C<error>. The messages in each category are grouped and
+displayed in colors appropriate for their severity (e.g. errors in
+red).
+
+Messages are rendered either by calling the function C<render_flash>
+or by including the flash sub-template from a template with the
+following code:
+
+ [%- INCLUDE 'common/flash.html' %]
