+# <Magick.pm> - ImageMagick compatibility wrapper for GraphicsMagick
+#
+# This package exports GraphicsMagick Perl bindings in the traditional
+# ImageMagick/PerlMagick namespace, which allows Perl scripts to change
+# from ImageMagick to GraphicsMagick without any code changes.

+=head1 NAME
+
+Image::Magick - call GraphicsMagick routines with ImageMagick interface
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+use Image::Magick
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This Perl wrapper provides GraphicsMagick bindings in the namespace
+traditionally used by ImageMagick's PerlMagick extension. It is used
+to turn GraphicsMagick into a drop-in replacement for ImageMagick in
+Perl scripts. It is recommended that scripts are ported to use
+GraphicsMagick natively instead of using this compatibility wrapper.
+
+GraphicsMagick was forked from ImageMagick version 5.5.2, and has since been
+developed with an emphasis on interface stability. Therefore, Perl scripts
+supporting ImageMagick version 5.5.2 can usually be ported to GraphicsMagick
+with little effort.
