  43 <h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
  44 <p>This version of B::Terse is really just a wrapper that calls B::Concise
  45 with the <strong>-terse</strong> option. It is provided for compatibility with old scripts
  46 (and habits) but using B::Concise directly is now recommended instead.</p>
  47 <p>For compatibility with the old B::Terse, this module also adds a
  48 method named <code>terse</code> to B::OP and B::SV objects. The B::SV method is
  49 largely compatible with the old one, though authors of new software
  50 might be advised to choose a more user-friendly output format. The
  51 B::OP <code>terse</code> method, however, doesn't work well. Since B::Terse was
  52 first written, much more information in OPs has migrated to the
  53 scratchpad datastructure, but the <code>terse</code> interface doesn't have any
  54 way of getting to the correct pad. As a kludge, the new version will
  55 always use the pad for the main program, but for OPs in subroutines
  56 this will give the wrong answer or crash.</p>
