+=head1 NAME
+
+Module::Reload - Reload %INC files when updated on disk
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+  Module::Reload->check;
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+When Perl pulls a file via C<require>, it stores the filename in the
+global hash C<%INC>.  The next time Perl tries to C<require> the same
+file, it sees the file in C<%INC> and does not reload from disk.  This
+module's handler iterates over C<%INC> and reloads the file if it has
+changed on disk. 
+
+Set $Module::Reload::Debug to enable debugging output.
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+A growing number of pragmas (C<base>, C<fields>, etc.) assume that
+they are loaded once only.  When you reload the same file again, they
+tend to become confused and break.  If you feel motivated to submit
+patches for these problems, I would encourage that.
