214	=head3 GETTING A FILE HANDLE FROM A FILE DESCRIPTOR
215
216	It is not uncommon to only have a file descriptor, while AnyEvent requires
217	a Perl file handle.
218
219	There are basically two methods to convert a file descriptor into a file handle. If you own
220	the file descriptor, you can open it with C<&=>, as in:
221
222	open my $fh, "<&=$fileno" or die "xxx: §!";
223
224	This will "own" the file descriptor, meaning that when C<$fh> is
225	destroyed, it will automatically close the C<$fileno>. Also, note that
226	the open mode (read, write, read/write) must correspond with how the
227	underlying file descriptor was opened.
228
229	In many cases, taking over the file descriptor is now what you want, in
230	which case the only alternative is to dup the file descriptor:
231
232	open my $fh, "<&$fileno" or die "xxx: $!";
233
234	This has the advantage of not closing the file descriptor and the
235	disadvantage of making a slow copy.

397		400
		401	=head3 Signal Races, Delays and Workarounds
		402
		403	Many event loops (e.g. Glib, Tk, Qt, IO::Async) do not support attaching
		404	callbacks to signals in a generic way, which is a pity, as you cannot
		405	do race-free signal handling in perl, requiring C libraries for
		406	this. AnyEvent will try to do it's best, which means in some cases,
		407	signals will be delayed. The maximum time a signal might be delayed is
		408	specified in C<$AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY> (default: 10 seconds). This
		409	variable can be changed only before the first signal watcher is created,
		410	and should be left alone otherwise. This variable determines how often
		411	AnyEvent polls for signals (in case a wake-up was missed). Higher values
		412	will cause fewer spurious wake-ups, which is better for power and CPU
		413	saving.
		414
		415	All these problems can be avoided by installing the optional
		416	L<Async::Interrupt> module, which works with most event loops. It will not
		417	work with inherently broken event loops such as L<Event> or L<Event::Lib>
		418	(and not with L<POE> currently, as POE does it's own workaround with
		419	one-second latency). For those, you just have to suffer the delays.

		861	B<Prima> is not supported as nobody seems to be using it, but it has a POE

		2420	=head1 RECOMMENDED/OPTIONAL MODULES
		2421
		2422	One of AnyEvent's main goals is to be 100% Pure-Perl(tm): only perl (and
		2423	it's built-in modules) are required to use it.
		2424
		2425	That does not mean that AnyEvent won't take advantage of some additional
		2426	modules if they are installed.
		2427
		2428	This section epxlains which additional modules will be used, and how they
		2429	affect AnyEvent's operetion.
		2430
		2431	=over 4
		2432
		2433	=item L<Async::Interrupt>
		2434
		2435	This slightly arcane module is used to implement fast signal handling: To
		2436	my knowledge, there is no way to do completely race-free and quick
		2437	signal handling in pure perl. To ensure that signals still get
		2438	delivered, AnyEvent will start an interval timer to wake up perl (and
		2439	catch the signals) with some delay (default is 10 seconds, look for
		2440	C<$AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY>).
		2441
		2442	If this module is available, then it will be used to implement signal
		2443	catching, which means that signals will not be delayed, and the event loop
		2444	will not be interrupted regularly, which is more efficient (And good for
		2445	battery life on laptops).
		2446
		2447	This affects not just the pure-perl event loop, but also other event loops
		2448	that have no signal handling on their own (e.g. Glib, Tk, Qt).
		2449
		2450	Some event loops (POE, Event, Event::Lib) offer signal watchers natively,
		2451	and either employ their own workarounds (POE) or use AnyEvent's workaround
		2452	(using C<$AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY>). Installing L<Async::Interrupt>
		2453	does nothing for those backends.
		2454
		2455	=item L<EV>
		2456
		2457	This module isn't really "optional", as it is simply one of the backend
		2458	event loops that AnyEvent can use. However, it is simply the best event
		2459	loop available in terms of features, speed and stability: It supports
		2460	the AnyEvent API optimally, implements all the watcher types in XS, does
		2461	automatic timer adjustments even when no monotonic clock is available,
		2462	can take avdantage of advanced kernel interfaces such as C<epoll> and
		2463	C<kqueue>, and is the fastest backend I<by far>. You can even embed
		2464	L<Glib>/L<Gtk2> in it (or vice versa, see L<EV::Glib> and L<Glib::EV>).
		2465
		2466	=item L<Guard>
		2467
		2468	The guard module, when used, will be used to implement
		2469	C<AnyEvent::Util::guard>. This speeds up guards considerably (and uses a
		2470	lot less memory), but otherwise doesn't affect guard operation much. It is
		2471	purely used for performance.
		2472
		2473	=item L<JSON> and L<JSON::XS>
		2474
		2475	This module is required when you want to read or write JSON data via
		2476	L<AnyEvent::Handle>. It is also written in pure-perl, but can take
		2477	advantage of the ultra-high-speed L<JSON::XS> module when it is installed.
		2478
		2479	In fact, L<AnyEvent::Handle> will use L<JSON::XS> by default if it is
		2480	installed.
		2481
		2482	=item L<Net::SSLeay>
		2483
		2484	Implementing TLS/SSL in Perl is certainly interesting, but not very
		2485	worthwhile: If this module is installed, then L<AnyEvent::Handle> (with
		2486	the help of L<AnyEvent::TLS>), gains the ability to do TLS/SSL.
		2487
		2488	=item L<Time::HiRes>
		2489
		2490	This module is part of perl since release 5.008. It will be used when the
		2491	chosen event library does not come with a timing source on it's own. The
		2492	pure-perl event loop (L<AnyEvent::Impl::Perl>) will additionally use it to
		2493	try to use a monotonic clock for timing stability.
