 =head2 EXAMPLE PROGRAM
    // a single header file is required
    #include <ev.h>
+   #include <stdio.h> // for puts
    // every watcher type has its own typedef'd struct
    // with the name ev_TYPE
    ev_io stdin_watcher;
    ev_timer timeout_watcher;
 i.e. keep at least one watcher active per fd at all times. Stopping and
 starting a watcher (without re-setting it) also usually doesn't cause
 extra overhead. A fork can both result in spurious notifications as well
 as in libev having to destroy and recreate the epoll object, which can
 take considerable time and thus should be avoided.
+All this means that, in practice, C<EVBACKEND_SELECT> can be as fast or
+faster than epoll for maybe up to a hundred file descriptors, depending on
+the usage. So sad.
 While nominally embeddable in other event loops, this feature is broken in
 all kernel versions tested so far.
 This backend maps C<EV_READ> and C<EV_WRITE> in the same way as
      else
        {
          // callback was invoked, but there was some activity, re-arm
          // the watcher to fire in last_activity + 60, which is
          // guaranteed to be in the future, so "again" is positive:
-         w->again = timeout - now;
+         w->repeat = timeout - now;
          ev_timer_again (EV_A_ w);
        }
    }
 To summarise the callback: first calculate the real timeout (defined
