+The C<assertions> pragma associates to its lexical scope one or
+several assertion tags. Then, to activate the execution of the
+assertions subroutines in this scope, these tags must be given to perl
+via the B<-A> command-line option. For instance, if...
+
+ use assertions 'foobar';
+
+is used, assertions on the same lexical scope will only be executed
+when perl is called as...
+
+ perl -A=foobar script.pl
+
+Regular expressions can also be used within the -A
+switch. For instance...
+
+ perl -A='foo.*' script.pl
+
+will activate assertions tagged as C<foo>, C<foobar>, C<foofoo>, etc.
+
+=head2 Selecting assertions
+
+Selecting which tags are required to activate assertions inside a
+lexical scope, is done with the arguments passed on the C<use
+assertions> sentence.
+
+If no arguments are given, the package name is used as the assertion tag:
+
+ use assertions;
+
+is equivalent to
+
+ use assertions __PACKAGE__;
+
+When several tags are given, all of them have to be activated via the
+C<-A> switch to activate assertion execution on that lexical scope,
+i.e.:
+
+ use assertions qw(Foo Bar);
+
+Constants C<1> and C<0> can be used to force unconditional activation
+or deactivation respectively:
+
+ use assertions '0';
+ use assertions '1';
+
+Operators C<&&> and C<||> and parenthesis C<(...)> can be used to
+construct logical expressions:
+
+ use assertions 'foo && bar';
+ use assertions 'foo || bar';
+ use assertions 'foo && (bar || doz)';
+
+(note that the logical operators and the parens have to be included
+inside the quoted string).
+
+Finally, the special tag C<_> refers to the current assertion
+activation state:
+
+ use assertions 'foo';
+ use assertions '_ && bar;
+
+is equivalent to
+
+ use assertions 'foo && bar';
+
+=head2 Handling assertions your own way
+
+The C<assertions> module also provides a set of low level functions to
+allow for custom assertion handling modules.
+
+Those functions are not exported and have to be fully qualified with
+the package name when called, for instance:
+
+ require assertions;
+ assertions::enabled(1);
+
+(note that C<assertions> is loaded with the C<require> keyword
+to avoid calling C<assertions::import()>).
+
+Those functions have to be called at compile time (they are
+useless at runtime).
+
+=over 4
+
+=item enabled($on)
+
+activates or deactivates assertion execution. For instance:
+
+ package assertions::always;
+
+ require assertions;
+ sub import { assertions::enabled(1) }
+
+ 1;
+
+This function calls C<assertion::seen(1)> also (see below).
+
+=item enabled()
+
+returns a true value when assertion execution is active.
+
+=item seen($on)
+
+A warning is generated when an assertion subroutine is found before
+any assertion selection code. This function is used to just tell perl
+that assertion selection code has been seen and that the warning is
+not required for the currently compiling lexical scope.
+
+=item seen()
+
+returns true if any assertion selection module (or code) has been
+called before on the currently compiling lexical scope.
+

+
+=head1 COMPATIBILITY
+
+Support for assertions is only available in perl from version 5.9. On
+previous perl versions this module will do nothing, though it will not
+harm either.
+
+L<assertions::compat> provides an alternative way to use assertions
+compatible with lower versions of perl.
