+=head1 NAME
+
+Moose::Policy - Moose-mounted police
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ package Foo;
+
+ use Moose::Policy 'Moose::Policy::FollowPBP';
+ use Moose;
+
+ has 'bar' => (is => 'rw', default => 'Foo::bar');
+ has 'baz' => (is => 'ro', default => 'Foo::baz');
+
+ # Foo now has (get, set)_bar methods as well as get_baz
+
+=head1 DEPRECATION NOTICE
+
+B<Moose::Policy is deprecated>.
+
+L<MooseX::FollowPBP> replaces the L<Moose::Policy::FollowPBP> module. The
+other policies included in this distribution do not yet have standalone MooseX
+modules, as of November, 2010.
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module allows you to specify your project-wide or even company-wide
+Moose meta-policy.
+
+Most all of Moose's features can be customized through the use of custom
+metaclasses, however fiddling with the metaclasses can be hairy. Moose::Policy
+removes most of that hairiness and makes it possible to cleanly contain
+a set of meta-level customizations in one easy to use module.
+
+This is still an release of this module and it should not be considered to
+be complete by any means. It is very basic implemenation at this point and
+will likely get more feature-full over time, as people request features.
+So if you have a suggestion/need/idea, please speak up.
+
+=head2 What is a meta-policy?
+
+A meta-policy is a set of custom Moose metaclasses which can be used to
+implement a number of customizations and restrictions on a particular
+Moose class.
+
+For instance, L<Moose::Policy::SingleInheritence> enforces that all
+specified Moose classes can only use single inheritance. It does this
+by trapping the call to C<superclasses> on the metaclass and only allowing
+you to assign a single superclass.
+
+The L<Moose::Policy::FollowPBP> policy changes the default behavior of
+accessors to fit the recomendations found in Perl Best Practices.
+
+=head1 CAVEATS
+
+=head2 Always load Moose::Policy first.
+
+You B<must> put the following line of code:
+
+ use Moose::Policy 'My::Policy';
+
+before this line:
+
+ use Moose;
+
+This is because Moose::Policy must be given the opportunity to set the
+custom metaclass before Moose has set it's default metaclass. In fact, if
+you try to set a Moose::Policy and there is a C<meta> method available,
+not only will kittens die, but your program will too.
+
+=head2 Policies are class scoped
+
+You must repeat the policy for each class you want to use it. It is B<not>
+inherited. This may change in the future, probably it will be a Moose::Policy
+itself to allow Moose policies to be inherited.
+
+=head1 THE POLICY
+
+A Policy is set by passing C<Moose::Policy::import()> a package name. This
+package is then queried for what metaclasses it should use. The possible
+metaclass values are:
+
+=over
+
+=item B<metaclass>
+
+This defaults to C<Moose::Meta::Class>.
+
+=item B<attribute_metaclass>
+
+=item B<instance_metaclass>
+
+=item B<method_metaclass>
+
+=back
+
+For examples of what a Policy actually looks like see the examples in
+C<Moose::Policy::> and the test suite. More docs to come on this later (probably
+a cookbook or something).

+
+=head1 FUTURE PLANS
+
+As I said above, this is the first release and it is by no means feature complete.
+There are a number of thoughts on the future direction of this module. Here are
+some random thoughts on that, in no particular order.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Make set of policy roles
+
+Roles are an excellent way to combine sets of behaviors together into one, and
+custom metaclasses are actually better composed by roles then by inheritence.
+The ideal situation is that this module will provide a set of roles which can be
+used to compose your meta-policy with relative ease.

+=head1 BUGS
+
+All complex software has bugs lurking in it, and this module is no
+exception. If you find a bug please either email me, or add the bug
+to cpan-RT.
