-If this variable is set to a true value, then C<stat()> on Windows will
-not try to open the file. This means that the link count cannot be
-determined and file attributes may be out of date if additional
-hardlinks to the file exist. On the other hand, not opening the file
-is considerably faster, especially for files on network drives.
+This variable no longer has any function.
-This variable could be set in the F<sitecustomize.pl> file to
-configure the local Perl installation to use "sloppy" C<stat()> by
-default. See the documentation for B<-f> in L<perlrun|perlrun/-f>
