+The Math::Units module converts a numeric value in one unit of measurement 
+to some other unit. The units must be compatible, i.e. length can not be 
+converted to volume. If a conversion can not be made an exception is 
+thrown.
+
+A combination chaining and reduction algorithm is used to perform the most 
+direct unit conversion possible. Units may be written in several different 
+styles. An abbreviation table is used to convert from common long-form 
+unit names to the (more or less) standard abbreviations that the units 
+module uses internally. All multiplicative unit conversions are cached so 
+that future conversions can be performed very quickly.
+
+Too many units, prefixes and abbreviations are supported to list here. See 
+the source code for a complete listing.
