=head2 C<LT_THREADSAFE>
-True iff the module could have been built when thread-safety features.
+True iff the module could have been built with thread-safety features enabled.
+
+=head2 C<LT_FORKSAFE>
+
+True iff this module could have been built with fork-safety features enabled.
+This will always be true except on Windows where it's false for perl 5.10.0 and below .
=head1 CAVEATS
Only one mangler or prefix can be in use at the same time in a given scope.
+The implementation was tweaked to work around several limitations of vanilla C<perl> pragmas : it's thread safe, and doesn't suffer from a C<perl 5.8.x-5.10.0> bug that causes all pragmas to propagate into C<require>d scopes.
+
+With 5.8 perls, the pragma does not propagate into C<eval STRING>.
+This is due to a shortcoming in the way perl handles the hints hash, which is addressed in perl 5.10.
+
=head1 DEPENDENCIES
-L<perl> 5.8, L<XSLoader>.
+L<perl> 5.8.3.
+
+A C compiler.
+This module may happen to build with a C++ compiler as well, but don't rely on it, as no guarantee is made in this regard.
+
+L<XSLoader> (standard since perl 5.006).
