@@ -602,11 +602,14 @@ C<__CALLER__>, which may be specified as the qualifier of an attribute:
 
         package Tie::Me::Kangaroo:Down::Sport;
 
-        use Attribute::Handlers autotie => { __CALLER__::Roo => __PACKAGE__ };
+        use Attribute::Handlers autotie => { '__CALLER__::Roo' => __PACKAGE__ };
 
 This causes Attribute::Handlers to define the C<Roo> attribute in the package
 that imports the Tie::Me::Kangaroo:Down::Sport module.
 
+Note that it is important to quote the __CALLER__::Roo identifier because
+a bug in perl 5.8 will refuse to parse it and cause an unknown error.

 =head3 Passing the tied object to C<tie>
 
 Occasionally it is important to pass a reference to the object being tied

-	Prior to this lexical attributes were done at a compile time,
