424=item $async->handle
425
426Calls the callback if the object is pending.
427
428This method does not need to be called normally, as it will be invoked
429automatically. However, it can be used to force handling of outstanding
430interrupts while the object is blocked.
431
432One reason why one might want to do that is when you want to switch
433from asynchronous interruptions to synchronous one, using e.g. an event
434loop. To do that, one would first C<< $async->block >> the interrupt
435object, then register a read watcher on the C<pipe_fileno> that calls C<<
436$async->handle >>.
437
438This disables asynchronous interruptions, but ensures that interrupts are
439handled by the event loop.
