+     "@code{perlcritic} is a Perl source code analyzer.  It is the
+executable front-end to the @code{Perl::Critic} engine, which attempts to
+identify awkward, hard to read, error-prone, or unconventional constructs in
+your code.  Most of the rules are based on Damian Conway's book \"Perl Best
+Practices\".  However, @code{perlcritic} is not limited to enforcing PBP, and it
+will even support rules that contradict Conway.  All rules can easily be
+configured or disabled to your liking.")
