 # perl-PPIx-Utilities
 
+This is a collection of functions for dealing with PPI objects, many of
+which originated in Perl::Critic. They are organized into modules by the
+kind of PPI class they relate to, by replacing the "PPI" at the front of
+the module name with "PPIx::Utilities", e.g. functionality related to
+PPI::Nodes is in PPIx::Utilities::Node.
