311time when the filehandle is destroyed. Normally, you can safely call perls
312C<close> or just let filehandles go out of scope.

327
328Therefore, C<aio_close> will not close the filehandle - instead it will
329use dup2 to overwrite the file descriptor with the write-end of a pipe
330(the pipe fd will be created on demand and will be cached).
331
332Or in other words: the file descriptor will be closed, but it will not be
333free for reuse until the perl filehandle is closed.
