-This document describes what a Perl Porter needs to do
-to start using the Perl repository.
+=head1 Synopsis
+
+First, we assume here that you have already decided that you will
+need B<write> access to the repository. If all you need is B<read>

+the perl repository, or explore individual files and patches therein.
+See L<perlhack> for details.
