+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+This module prints the contents of the parse tree, but without as much
+information as CPAN module B::Debug. For comparison, \f(CW\*(C`print "Hello, world."\*(C'\fR
+produced 96 lines of output from B::Debug, but only 6 from B::Terse.
+.PP
+This module is useful for people who are writing their own back end,
+or who are learning about the Perl internals. It's not useful to the
+average programmer.
+.PP
+This version of B::Terse is really just a wrapper that calls B::Concise
+with the \fB\-terse\fR option. It is provided for compatibility with old scripts
+(and habits) but using B::Concise directly is now recommended instead.
+.PP
+For compatibility with the old B::Terse, this module also adds a
+method named \f(CW\*(C`terse\*(C'\fR to B::OP and B::SV objects. The B::SV method is
+largely compatible with the old one, though authors of new software
+might be advised to choose a more user-friendly output format. The
+B::OP \f(CW\*(C`terse\*(C'\fR method, however, doesn't work well. Since B::Terse was
+first written, much more information in OPs has migrated to the
+scratchpad datastructure, but the \f(CW\*(C`terse\*(C'\fR interface doesn't have any
+way of getting to the correct pad. As a kludge, the new version will
+always use the pad for the main program, but for OPs in subroutines
+this will give the wrong answer or crash.
+.SH AUTHOR
+.IX Header "AUTHOR"
+The original version of B::Terse was written by Malcolm Beattie,
+<mbeattie@sable.ox.ac.uk>. This wrapper was written by Stephen
+McCamant, <smcc@MIT.EDU>.
