 =head1 SYNOPSIS
    use AnyEvent;
    use AnyEvent::Handle;
    my $handle =
       AnyEvent::Handle->new (
          fh => \*STDIN,
          on_eof => sub {
-            $cv->broadcast;
+            $cv->send;
          },
       );
    # send some request line
    $handle->push_write ("getinfo\015\012");
 treatment of characters applies to this module as well.
 All callbacks will be invoked with the handle object as their first
 argument.
-=head2 SIGPIPE is not handled by this module
-SIGPIPE is not handled by this module, so one of the practical
-requirements of using it is to ignore SIGPIPE (C<$SIG{PIPE} =
-'IGNORE'>). At least, this is highly recommend in a networked program: If
-you use AnyEvent::Handle in a filter program (like sort), exiting on
-SIGPIPE is probably the right thing to do.
 =head1 METHODS

 =item B<new (%args)>
 Set the callback to be called when an end-of-file condition is detected,
 i.e. in the case of a socket, when the other side has closed the
 connection cleanly.
 For sockets, this just means that the other side has stopped sending data,
-you can still try to write data, and, in fact, one can return from the eof
+you can still try to write data, and, in fact, one can return from the EOF
 callback and continue writing data, as only the read part has been shut
 down.
-While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set an eof callback,
+While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set an EOF callback,
 otherwise you might end up with a closed socket while you are still
 waiting for data.
 If an EOF condition has been detected but no C<on_eof> callback has been
 set, then a fatal error will be raised with C<$!> set to <0>.
 and no read request is in the queue (unlike read queue callbacks, this
 callback will only be called when at least one octet of data is in the
 read buffer).
 To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >>
-method or access the C<$handle->{rbuf}> member directly.
+method or access the C<$handle->{rbuf}> member directly. Note that you
+must not enlarge or modify the read buffer, you can only remove data at
+the beginning from it.
 When an EOF condition is detected then AnyEvent::Handle will first try to
 feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before
 calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal
 error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).
 You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have
 to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state>
 or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to
 AnyEvent::Handle.
+B<IMPORTANT:> since Net::SSLeay "objects" are really only integers,
+passing in the wrong integer will lead to certain crash. This most often
+happens when one uses a stylish C<< tls => 1 >> and is surprised about the
+segmentation fault.
 See the C<< ->starttls >> method for when need to start TLS negotiation later.
 =item tls_ctx => $ssl_ctx
 Use the given C<Net::SSLeay::CTX> object to create the new TLS connection

+=item $handle->destroy
+Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
+no further callbacks will be invoked and resources will be freed as much
+as possible. You must not call any methods on the object afterwards.
+Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
+object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
+callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
+callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
+within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
+that case.
+The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
+data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

 =item AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX

 =head1 NONFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
 =over 4
+=item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
+still get further invocations!
+That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
+read or write callbacks.
+It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
+from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
+->destroy >> method.
+=item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
+reading?
+Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
+communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently. The
+read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
+write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
+This can mean than, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
+callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
+is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
+During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
+non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
+connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
+C<destroy> method.
 =item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
 If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
 to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
 The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
 and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
 fact, all data has been received.
-It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transfering data,
+It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
 to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
 intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
 explicit QUIT command.
 =item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
 all data has been written?
 After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
