+The "mro" namespace provides several utilities for dealing with
+method resolution order and method caching in general in Perl
+5.9.5 and higher.
+
+This module provides those interfaces for earlier versions of Perl
+(back to 5.6.0 anyways).
+
+It is a harmless no-op to use this module on 5.9.5+. That is to say,
+code which properly uses MRO::Compat will work unmodified on both
+older Perls and 5.9.5+.
+
+If you're writing a piece of software that would like to use the
+parts of 5.9.5+'s mro:: interfaces that are supported here, and you
+want compatibility with older Perls, this is the module for you.
+
+Some parts of this code will work better and/or faster with
+Class::C3::XS installed (which is an optional prereq of Class::C3,
+which is in turn a prereq of this package), but it's not a requirement.
+
+This module never exports any functions. All calls must be fully
+qualified with the mro:: prefix.
