+# This library is no longer being maintained, and is included for backward
+# compatibility with Perl 4 programs which may require it.
+# It is now just a wrapper around the Getopt::Long module.
+# This legacy library is deprecated and will be removed in a future
+# release of perl.
+#
+# In particular, this should not be used as an example of modern Perl
+# programming techniques.
+#
+# Suggested alternative: Getopt::Long
