-This will predeclare all the subroutine whose names are

+This will predeclare all the subroutines whose names are
+in the list, allowing you to use them without parentheses (as list operators)
 even before they're declared.
 
 Unlike pragmas that affect the C<$^H> hints variable, the C<use vars> and
-C<use subs> declarations are not BLOCK-scoped.  They are thus effective
-for the entire package in which they appear.  You may not rescind such
+C<use subs> declarations are not lexically scoped to the block they appear
+in: they affect
+the entire package in which they appear.  It is not possible to rescind these
 declarations with C<no vars> or C<no subs>.
