.Vb 1
\&    use Hash::Util::FieldHash::Compat;

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Under older perls this module provides a drop-in compatible \s-1API\s0 to
Hash::Util::FieldHash using perltie. When Hash::Util::FieldHash is
available it will use that instead.
.PP
This way code requiring field hashes can benefit from fast, robust field hashes
on Perl 5.10 and newer, but still run on older perls that don't ship with that
module.
.PP
See Hash::Util::FieldHash for all the details of the \s-1API.\s0
