-You can set the variable C<$File::Find::dont_use_nlink> to 1 if you want to
-force File::Find to always stat directories. This was used for file systems
-that do not have an C<nlink> count matching the number of sub-directories.
-Examples are ISO-9660 (CD-ROM), AFS, HPFS (OS/2 file system), FAT (DOS file
-system) and a couple of others.
+You can set the variable C<$File::Find::dont_use_nlink> to 0 if you
+are sure the filesystem you are scanning reflects the number of
+subdirectories in the parent directory's C<nlink> count.
 
-You shouldn't need to set this variable, since File::Find should now detect
-such file systems on-the-fly and switch itself to using stat. This works even
-for parts of your file system, like a mounted CD-ROM.
+If you do set C<$File::Find::dont_use_nlink> to 0, you may notice an
+improvement in speed at the risk of not recursing into subdirectories
+if a filesystem doesn't populate C<nlink> as expected.
 
-If you do set C<$File::Find::dont_use_nlink> to 1, you will notice slow-downs.
+C<$File::Find::dont_use_nlink> now defaults to 1 on all platforms.
