-L<Moose> is wonderful. B<Use Moose instead of Mouse.>
+L<Moose|Moose> is a postmodern object system for Perl5. Moose is wonderful.
 
 Unfortunately, Moose has a compile-time penalty. Though significant progress
 has been made over the years, the compile time penalty is a non-starter for
 some very specific applications. If you are writing a command-line application
 or CGI script where startup time is essential, you may not be able to use
-Moose. We recommend that you instead use L<HTTP::Engine> and FastCGI for the
-latter, if possible.

-=head1 CAVEATS
-
-If you use Mouse::XS you might see a fatal error on callbacks
-which include C<eval 'BEGIN{ die }'>, which typically occurs in such code
-as C<eval 'use NotInstalledModule'>. This is not
-a bug in Mouse. In fact, it is a bug in Perl (RT #69939).
-
-To work around this problem, surround C<eval STRING> with C<eval BLOCK>:
-
-    sub callback {
-        # eval 'use NotInstalledModule';       # NG
-        eval{ eval 'use NotInstalledModule' }; # OK
-    }
-
-It seems ridiculous, but it works as you expected.
