+=head1 NAME
+
+File::stat - by-name interface to Perl's built-in stat() functions
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use File::stat;
+ $st = stat($file) or die "No $file: $!";
+ if ( ($st->mode & 0111) && $st->nlink > 1) ) {
+ print "$file is executable with lotsa links\n";
+ }
+
+ use File::stat qw(:FIELDS);
+ stat($file) or die "No $file: $!";
+ if ( ($st_mode & 0111) && ($st_nlink > 1) ) {
+ print "$file is executable with lotsa links\n";
+ }
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module's default exports override the core stat()
+and lstat() functions, replacing them with versions that return
+"File::stat" objects. This object has methods that
+return the similarly named structure field name from the
+stat(2) function; namely,
+dev,
+ino,
+mode,
+nlink,
+uid,
+gid,
+rdev,
+size,
+atime,
+mtime,
+ctime,
+blksize,
+and
+blocks.
+
+You may also import all the structure fields directly into your namespace
+as regular variables using the :FIELDS import tag. (Note that this still
+overrides your stat() and lstat() functions.) Access these fields as
+variables named with a preceding C<st_> in front their method names.
+Thus, C<$stat_obj-E<gt>dev()> corresponds to $st_dev if you import
+the fields.
+
+To access this functionality without the core overrides,
+pass the C<use> an empty import list, and then access
+function functions with their full qualified names.
+On the other hand, the built-ins are still available
+via the C<CORE::> pseudo-package.
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+As of Perl 5.8.0 after using this module you cannot use the implicit
+C<$_> or the special filehandle C<_> with stat() or lstat(), trying
+to do so leads into strange errors. The workaround is for C<$_> to
+be explicit
+
+ my $stat_obj = stat $_;
+
+and for C<_> to explicitly populate the object using the unexported
+and undocumented populate() function with CORE::stat():
+
+ my $stat_obj = File::stat::populate(CORE::stat(_));
+
+=head1 NOTE
+
+While this class is currently implemented using the Class::Struct
+module to build a struct-like class, you shouldn't rely upon this.
