+The Devel::Required module only serves a purpose in the development
+environment of an author of a CPAN module (or more precisely: a user of the
+ExtUtils::MakeMaker module). It makes sure that any changes to the required
+modules specified in the Makefile.PL are automatically reflected in the
+appropriate text file and in the appropriate source files (either
+explicitely or implicitely specified).
+
+It takes the information given with the PREREQ_PM parameter and by default
+writes this to the README file, as well as to the POD of the file specified
+with the VERSION_FROM parameter. Both these defaults can be overridden with
+the "text" and "pod" parameters in the use Devel::Required specification.
