+=head1 NAME
+
+Sub::Defer - defer generation of subroutines until they are first called
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use Sub::Defer;
+
+ my $deferred = defer_sub 'Logger::time_since_first_log' => sub {
+    my $t = time;
+    sub { time - $t };
+ };
+
+  Logger->time_since_first_log; # returns 0 and replaces itself
+  Logger->time_since_first_log; # returns time - $t
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+These subroutines provide the user with a convenient way to defer creation of
+subroutines and methods until they are first called.
+
+=head1 SUBROUTINES
+
+=head2 defer_sub
+
+ my $coderef = defer_sub $name => sub { ... };
+
+This subroutine returns a coderef that encapsulates the provided sub - when
+it is first called, the provided sub is called and is -itself- expected to
+return a subroutine which will be goto'ed to on subsequent calls.
+
+If a name is provided, this also installs the sub as that name - and when
+the subroutine is undeferred will re-install the final version for speed.
+
+=head2 undefer_sub
+
+ my $coderef = undefer_sub \&Foo::name;
+
+If the passed coderef has been L<deferred|/defer_sub> this will "undefer" it.
+If the passed coderef has not been deferred, this will just return it.
+
+If this is confusing, take a look at the example in the L</SYNOPSIS>.
