+The Class:Multimethod module exports a subroutine (&multimethod) that can 
+be used to declare other subroutines that are dispatched using a algorithm 
+different from the normal Perl subroutine or method dispatch mechanism.
+
+Normal Perl subroutines are dispatched by finding the appropriately-named 
+subroutine in the current (or specified) package and calling that. Normal 
+Perl methods are dispatched by attempting to find the appropriately-named 
+subroutine in the package into which the invoking object is blessed or, 
+failing that, recursively searching for it in the packages listed in the 
+appropriate @ISA arrays.
+
+Class::Multimethods multimethods are dispatched quite differently. The 
+dispatch mechanism looks at the classes or types of each argument to the 
+multimethod (by calling ref on each) and determines the "closest" matching 
+variant of the multimethod, according to the argument types specified in 
+the variants' definitions (see "Finding the "nearest" multimethod" for a 
+definition of "closest").
+
+The result is something akin to C++'s function overloading, but more 
+intelligent, since multimethods take the inheritance relationships of each 
+argument into account. Another way of thinking of the mechanism is that it 
+performs polymorphic dispatch on every argument of a method, not just the 
+first.
