@@ -471,6 +488,16 @@ limitation of this module.
 
 =back
 
+=head1 COMPATIBILITY
+
+If your software requires Perl 5.9.5 or higher, you do not need L<Class::C3>, you can simple C<use mro 'c3'>, and not worry about C<initialize()>, avoid some of the above caveats, and get the best possible performance.  See L<mro> for more details.
+
+If your software is meant to work on earlier Perls, use L<Class::C3> as documented here.  L<Class::C3> will detect Perl 5.9.5+ and take advantage of the core support when available.
+
+=head1 Class::C3::XS
+
+This module will load L<Class::C3::XS> if it's installed and you are running on a Perl version older than 5.9.5.  Installing this is recommended when possible, as it results in significant performance improvements (but unlike the 5.9.5+ core support, it still has all of the same caveats as L<Class::C3>).
