+=head2 Binary Incompatibility
+
+B<Perl 5.8 is not binary compatible with earlier releases of Perl.>
+
+B<You have to recompile your XS modules.>
+
+(Pure Perl modules should continue to work.)
+
+The major reason for the discontinity is the new IO architecture
+called PerlIO. PerlIO is the default configuration because
+without it many new features of Perl 5.8 cannot be used. In other
+words: you just have to recompile your modules, sorry about that.
+
+In future releases of Perl, non-PerlIO aware XS modules may become
+completely unsupported. This shouldn't be too difficult for module
+authors, however: PerlIO has been designed as a drop-in replacement
+(at the source code level) for the stdio interface.
+
+Depending on your platform, there are also other reasons why
+we decided to break binary compatibility, please read on.

+ability to build extensions, and that seems to be working reasonably well.)
