-    For "perl" to be able to parse "my Str $x", you need :
-
-    *   either the "Str" package to be defined ;
-
-    *   or for "Str" to be a constant sub returning a valid defined package.
+CONSTANTS

+    True iff the module could have been built with thread-safety features

+CAVEATS
     The restrictions on the type (being either a defined package name or a
     constant) apply even if you use the 'as' option to redirect to another
     package, and are unlikely to find a workaround as this happens deep

     Only one mangler or prefix can be in use at the same time in a given

+    The implementation was tweaked to work around several limitations of
+    vanilla "perl" pragmas : it's thread safe, and doesn't suffer from a
+    "perl 5.8.x-5.10.0" bug that causes all pragmas to propagate into
+    "require"d scopes.
+
+    With 5.8 perls, the pragma does not propagate into "eval STRING". This
+    is due to a shortcoming in the way perl handles the hints hash, which is
+    addressed in perl 5.10.
