Please consider this shortened version:

    Description: Perl module providing stack trace facilities
     The Devel::StackTrace module provides two classes, Devel::StackTrace
     and Devel::StackTraceFrame.
     .
     The Devel::StackTrace object encapsulates the information that can be
     obtained by using the caller() function, as well as providing a simple
     interface to this data.
     .
     The Devel::StackTrace object contains a set of Devel::StackTraceFrame
     objects, one for each level of the stack.  The frames contain all the
     data available from caller().
The problem here is that after it says there are two of them, D::ST
and D::STF, it's confusing that both of the following paragraphs
appear to be describing D::ST - it's not clear that the second
paragraph is effectively defining D::STF.
It's my fault. I think the second paragraph should have started with the
D::STF.

       Devel::StackTraceFrame objects each contain the caller data for one
       level of the stack.
