 %description
-Exception::Class allows you to declare exception hierarchies in your modules in
-a "Java-esque" manner.
+*RECOMMENDATION 1*: If you are writing modern Perl code with the Moose
+manpage or the Moo manpage I highly recommend using the Throwable manpage
+instead of this module.
+
+*RECOMMENDATION 2*: Whether or not you use the Throwable manpage, you
+should use the Try::Tiny manpage.
+
+Exception::Class allows you to declare exception hierarchies in your
+modules in a "Java-esque" manner.
 
 It features a simple interface allowing programmers to 'declare' exception
-classes at compile time. It also has a base exception class,
-Exception::Class::Base, that can be easily extended.
+classes at compile time. It also has a base exception class, the
+Exception::Class::Base manpage, that can be easily extended.
 
 It is designed to make structured exception handling simpler and better by
-encouraging people to use hierarchies of exceptions in their applications, as
-opposed to a single catch-all exception class.
