-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
