+Class::MakeMethods::Template::Static - Deprecated name for Global
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+  package MyObject;
+  use Class::MakeMethods::Template::Global (
+    scalar          => [ 'foo' ]
+  );
+  
+  package main;

+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Earlier versions of this package included a package named Class::MakeMethods::Template::Static.
+
+However, in hindsight, this name was poorly chosen, as it suggests a constant, unchanging value, whereas the actual functionality is akin to traditional "global" variables.
+
+This functionality is now provided by Class::MakeMethods::Template::Global, of which this is an empty subclass retained to provide backwards compatibility.
