+=head1 CAVEATS
 
 The restrictions on the type (being either a defined package name or a constant) apply even if you use the C<'as'> option to redirect to another package, and are unlikely to find a workaround as this happens deep inside the lexer - far from the reach of an extension.
 
 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.
