+# @BLURB: eclass for installing Perl module distributions
# @DESCRIPTION:
-# The perl-module eclass is designed to allow easier installation of perl
-# modules, and their incorporation into the Gentoo Linux system.
+# The perl-module eclass is designed to allow easier installation of Perl
+# module distributions, and their incorporation into the Gentoo Linux system.
# All exported functions from perl-functions.eclass (inherited here)
# explicitly also belong to the interface of perl-module.eclass.
+# If your package does not use any Perl-specific build system (as, e.g.,
+# ExtUtils::MakeMaker or Module::Build), we recommend to use perl-functions.eclass
+# instead.
