+=head1 COMPATIBILITY
+
+This version of Tie::Handle is neither related to nor compatible with
+the Tie::Handle (3.0) module available on CPAN. It was due to an
+accident that two modules with the same name appeared. The namespace
+clash has been cleared in favor of this module that comes with the
+perl core in September 2000 and accordingly the version number has
+been bumped up to 4.0.
