+the default.  This abstraction layer can use AT&T's sfio (if you already
+have sfio installed) or regular stdio.  Using PerlIO with sfio may cause
+problems with some extension modules.  Using PerlIO with stdio is safe,
+but it is slower than plain stdio and therefore is not the default.
 
 If this doesn't make any sense to you, just accept the default 'n'.
