		1754
		1755	It is recommended to use L<AnyEvent::AIO> to integrate IO::AIO
		1756	automatically into many event loops:
		1757
		1758	# AnyEvent integration (EV, Event, Glib, Tk, POE, urxvt, pureperl...)
		1759	use AnyEvent::AIO;
		1760
		1761	You can also integrate IO::AIO manually into many event loops, here are
		1762	some examples of how to do this:
		1763
		1764	# EV integration
		1765	my $aio_w = EV::io IO::AIO::poll_fileno, EV::READ, \&IO::AIO::poll_cb;
		1766
		1767	# Event integration
		1768	Event->io (fd => IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
		1769	poll => 'r',
		1770	cb => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
		1771
		1772	# Glib/Gtk2 integration
		1773	add_watch Glib::IO IO::AIO::poll_fileno,
		1774	in => sub { IO::AIO::poll_cb; 1 };
		1775
		1776	# Tk integration
		1777	Tk::Event::IO->fileevent (IO::AIO::poll_fileno, "",
		1778	readable => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
		1779
		1780	# Danga::Socket integration
		1781	Danga::Socket->AddOtherFds (IO::AIO::poll_fileno =>
		1782	\&IO::AIO::poll_cb);
