ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This module was written to scratch an itch after using REST::Neo4p; I liked the REST::Neo4p::Query and wanted to attempt to implement something that felt like it was Cypher driven, and less about specific nodes and indexes.

I may be way off the mark, but this module is currently useful for throwing hand-written Cypher at a neo4j server.

Over time it may even implement more interesting features.
