 =head1 SYNOPSIS
    use AnyEvent;
+   # file descriptor readable
-   my $w = AnyEvent->io (fh => $fh, poll => "r|w", cb => sub { ...  });
+   my $w = AnyEvent->io (fh => $fh, poll => "r", cb => sub { ...  });
+   # one-shot or repeating timers
    my $w = AnyEvent->timer (after => $seconds, cb => sub { ...  });
    my $w = AnyEvent->timer (after => $seconds, interval => $seconds, cb => ...
    print AnyEvent->now;  # prints current event loop time
    print AnyEvent->time; # think Time::HiRes::time or simply CORE::time.
+   # POSIX signal
    my $w = AnyEvent->signal (signal => "TERM", cb => sub { ... });
+   # child process exit
    my $w = AnyEvent->child (pid => $pid, cb => sub {
       my ($pid, $status) = @_;
       ...
    });
+   # called when event loop idle (if applicable)
+   my $w = AnyEvent->idle (cb => sub { ... });
    my $w = AnyEvent->condvar; # stores whether a condition was flagged
    $w->send; # wake up current and all future recv's
    $w->recv; # enters "main loop" till $condvar gets ->send
    # use a condvar in callback mode:
 In either case, if you care (and in most cases, you don't), then you
 can get whatever behaviour you want with any event loop, by taking the
 difference between C<< AnyEvent->time >> and C<< AnyEvent->now >> into
 account.
+=item AnyEvent->now_update
+Some event loops (such as L<EV> or L<AnyEvent::Impl::Perl>) cache
+the current time for each loop iteration (see the discussion of L<<
+AnyEvent->now >>, above).
+When a callback runs for a long time (or when the process sleeps), then
+this "current" time will differ substantially from the real time, which
+might affect timers and time-outs.
+When this is the case, you can call this method, which will update the
+event loop's idea of "current time".
+Note that updating the time I<might> cause some events to be handled.

 =head2 SIGNAL WATCHERS
    );
    # do something else, then wait for process exit
    $done->recv;
+=head2 IDLE WATCHERS
+Sometimes there is a need to do something, but it is not so important
+to do it instantly, but only when there is nothing better to do. This
+"nothing better to do" is usually defined to be "no other events need
+attention by the event loop".
+Idle watchers ideally get invoked when the event loop has nothing
+better to do, just before it would block the process to wait for new
+events. Instead of blocking, the idle watcher is invoked.
+Most event loops unfortunately do not really support idle watchers (only
+EV, Event and Glib do it in a usable fashion) - for the rest, AnyEvent
+will simply call the callback "from time to time".
+Example: read lines from STDIN, but only process them when the
+program is otherwise idle:
+   my @lines; # read data
+   my $idle_w;
+   my $io_w = AnyEvent->io (fh => \*STDIN, poll => 'r', cb => sub {
+      push @lines, scalar <STDIN>;
+      # start an idle watcher, if not already done
+      $idle_w ||= AnyEvent->idle (cb => sub {
+         # handle only one line, when there are lines left
+         if (my $line = shift @lines) {
+            print "handled when idle: $line";
+         } else {
+            # otherwise disable the idle watcher again
+            undef $idle_w;
+         }
+      });
+   });
 =head2 CONDITION VARIABLES
 If you are familiar with some event loops you will know that all of them
 require you to run some blocking "loop", "run" or similar function that
 will actively watch for new events and call your callbacks.
