=head1 NAME

Module::Downgrade - Tries to turn Perl 5.6 code to Perl 5.005

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Module::Downgrade;
  downgrade('Mod.pm', 'script.pl');

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<Module::Downgrade> is a joke for trying to be compatible.
It depends entirely on the generosity of the code being translated.

Don't use it. It is not ready for general use.

=head2 EXPORT

C<downgrade> is exported by default.
