+=head1 PERL SIGNALS
+
+While Perl signal handling (C<%SIG>) is not affected by EV, the behaviour
+with EV is as the same as any other C library: Perl-signals will only be
+handled when Perl runs, which means your signal handler might be invoked
+only the next time an event callback is invoked.
+
+The solution is to use EV signal watchers (see C<EV::signal>), which will
+ensure proper operations with regards to other event watchers.
+
+If you cannot do this for whatever reason, you can also force a watcher
+to be called on every event loop iteration by installing a C<EV::check>
+watcher:
+
+   my $async_check = EV::check sub { };
+
+This ensures that perl shortly gets into control for a short time, and
+also ensures slower overall operation.
