=head1 DESCRIPTION
+=head2 Keeping packages clean
+
When you define a function, or import one, into a Perl package, it will
naturally also be available as a method. This does not per se cause
problems, but it can complicate subclassing and, for example, plugin
-classes that are included by loading them as base classes.
+classes that are included via multiple inheritance by loading them as
+base classes.
The C<namespace::clean> pragma will remove all previously declared or
imported symbols at the end of the current package's compile cycle.
-This means that functions are already bound by their name, and calls to
-them still work. But they will not be available as methods on your class
-or instances.
+Functions called in the package itself will still be bound by their
+name, but they won't show up as methods on your class or instances.
+
+By unimporting via C<no> you can tell C<namespace::clean> to start
+collecting functions for the next C<use namespace::clean;> specification.
+
+You can use the C<-except> flag to tell C<namespace::clean> that you
+don't want it to remove a certain function or method. A common use would
+be a module exporting an C<import> method along with some functions:
+
+ use ModuleExportingImport;
+ use namespace::clean -except => [qw( import )];
+
+If you just want to C<-except> a single sub, you can pass it directly.
+For more than one value you have to use an array reference.
+
+=head2 Explicitely removing functions when your scope is compiled
+
+It is also possible to explicitely tell C<namespace::clean> what packages
+to remove when the surrounding scope has finished compiling. Here is an
+example:
+
+ package Foo;
+ use strict;
+
+ # blessed NOT available
+
+ sub my_class {
+ use Scalar::Util qw( blessed );
+ use namespace::clean qw( blessed );
+
+ # blessed available
+ return blessed shift;
+ }
+
+ # blessed NOT available
+
+=head2 Moose
+
+When using C<namespace::clean> together with L<Moose> you want to keep
+the installed C<meta> method. So your classes should look like:
+
+ package Foo;
+ use Moose;
+ use namespace::clean -except => 'meta';
+ ...
+
+Same goes for L<Moose::Role>.
=head1 METHODS
You shouldn't need to call any of these. Just C<use> the package at the
appropriate place.

=head2 import
-Makes a snapshot of the current defined functions and registers a
-L<Filter::EOF> cleanup routine to remove those symbols from the package
-at the end of the compile-time.
+Makes a snapshot of the current defined functions and installs a
+L<B::Hooks::EndOfScope> hook in the current scope to invoke the cleanups.

+=head1 IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
+
+This module works through the effect that a
+
+ delete $SomePackage::{foo};
+
+will remove the C<foo> symbol from C<$SomePackage> for run time lookups
+(e.g., method calls) but will leave the entry alive to be called by
+already resolved names in the package itself. C<namespace::clean> will
+restore and therefor in effect keep all glob slots that aren't C<CODE>.
+
+A test file has been added to the perl core to ensure that this behaviour
+will be stable in future releases.
+
+Just for completeness sake, if you want to remove the symbol completely,
+use C<undef> instead.
