+=head1 NAME
+
+Class::Accessor::Fast - Faster, but less expandable, accessors
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ package Foo;
+ use base qw(Class::Accessor::Fast);
+
+ # The rest is the same as Class::Accessor but without set() and get().
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This is a faster but less expandable version of Class::Accessor.
+Class::Accessor's generated accessors require two method calls to accompish
+their task (one for the accessor, another for get() or set()).
+Class::Accessor::Fast eliminates calling set()/get() and does the access itself,
+resulting in a somewhat faster accessor.
+
+The downside is that you can't easily alter the behavior of your
+accessors, nor can your subclasses. Of course, should you need this
+later, you can always swap out Class::Accessor::Fast for
+Class::Accessor.
+
+Read the documentation for Class::Accessor for more info.
