+

+=item DESCRIPTION
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Module Installation
+
+How do I keep from installing man pages?, How do I use a module without
+installing it?
+
+=item Philosophy and History
+
+Why not just use <insert other build config tool here>?, What is
+Module::Build and how does it relate to MakeMaker?, pure perl. no make, no
+shell commands, easier to customize, cleaner internals, less cruft
+
+=item Module Writing
+
+How do I keep my $VERSION up to date without resetting it manually?, What's
+this F<META.yml> thing and how did it get in my F<MANIFEST>?!
