Just sayin', this is officially what upstream describe it as:

https://metacpan.org/pod/Filesys::DiskSpace#NAME

Same goes for Test-SharedFork

https://metacpan.org/pod/Test::SharedFork#NAME

While of course we can deviate from that, I generally try to stick with upstreams decription (partly for reasons of simplifying automation)

If better descriptions can be provided without needing to put the word "perl" in them ( Which would be terribly redundant ), I'd welcome it, and possibly submit the change upstream as well.

"Disk space information"? ;-)

I'm not sure if I understand its purpose correctly which also proves how bad the description is.  Maybe:

"Ensure that tests work correctly when fork() is used"

    dev-perl/Filesys-DiskSpace: Improve DESC re bug #689452
    
    Hopefully upstream will adopt our wording when they ship the next
    release sometime this century, and if not, automated tooling may take
    their improved version when that occurs.
    
    But until then, a local fix is sufficient
