Thanx, ikegami.

Reading your #3 finally makes sense of the paragraph; implicit assumption of the most simple usage style of the package statement of one per file, never to reoccur in any other file (probably this 'file scope' shouldn't even be mentioned in this section at all).

Provided that this tripped at least me for sure, do you think this large enough to warrant trying a patch/rewrite of this documentation section?

I wouldn't mind trying myself for (hubris &) learning experience, but I'd certainly need some hand holding when I've found the source pods and did some reading on p5p and patch submission (warn "non-native speaker combined with utter lack of p5p experience...\n").

cu & HTH, Peter -- hints may be untested unless stated otherwise; use with caution & understanding.
