@@ -602,11 +602,14 @@ C<__CALLER__>, which may be specified as the qualifier of an attribute:
 
         package Tie::Me::Kangaroo:Down::Sport;
 
-        use Attribute::Handlers autotie => { __CALLER__::Roo => __PACKAGE__ };
+        use Attribute::Handlers autotie => { '__CALLER__::Roo' => __PACKAGE__ };
 
 This causes Attribute::Handlers to define the C<Roo> attribute in the package
 that imports the Tie::Me::Kangaroo:Down::Sport module.
 
+Note that it is important to quote the __CALLER__::Roo identifier because
+a bug in perl 5.8 will refuse to parse it and cause an unknown error.
+
 =head3 Passing the tied object to C<tie>
 
 Occasionally it is important to pass a reference to the object being tied

-       - Since Attribute::Handlers now is core, I will refer to changes
-       with their patch number, please read  Porting/repository.pod from
-       your a perl tarball for more information.
-
-       - Brought up to date with perl 5.8RC1 version 
-       will be 5.8 if no more changes come in
-
-       - [#13686] This changes the behaviour of lexical attributes.
-       Prior to this lexical attributes were done at a compile time, 
-       and they would loose their attribute on the next run over them.
-       Now perl 5.8 calls the attribute handler runtime whenever it hits my.
-
-       - [#14448] Fixes cases with too high refcounts on lexical attributes

-       - [#15945] Do not warn about too late CHECK and INIT block if
