+=head1 NAME
+
+Number::Compare - numeric comparisons
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ Number::Compare->new(">1Ki")->test(1025); # is 1025 > 1024
+
+ my $c = Number::Compare->new(">1M");
+ $c->(1_200_000);                          # slightly terser invocation
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Number::Compare compiles a simple comparison to an anonymous
+subroutine, which you can call with a value to be tested again.
+
+Now this would be very pointless, if Number::Compare didn't understand
+magnitudes.
+
+The target value may use magnitudes of kilobytes (C<k>, C<ki>),
+megabytes (C<m>, C<mi>), or gigabytes (C<g>, C<gi>).  Those suffixed
+with an C<i> use the appropriate 2**n version in accordance with the
+IEC standard: http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+=head2 ->new( $test )
+
+Returns a new object that compares the specified test.
+
+=head2 ->test( $value )
+
+A longhanded version of $compare->( $value ).  Predates blessed
+subroutine reference implementation.
+
+=head2 ->parse_to_perl( $test )
+
+Returns a perl code fragment equivalent to the test.
