=head1 NAME
AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib - AnyEvent adaptor for Event::Lib
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use AnyEvent;
use Event::Lib;
# this module gets loaded automatically as required
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module provides transparent support for AnyEvent. You don't have to
do anything to make Event work with AnyEvent except by loading Event::Lib
before creating the first AnyEvent watcher.
The L<Event::Lib> module suffers from the same limitations and bugs
as libevent, most notably it kills already-installed watchers on a
file descriptor and it is unable to support fork. It has many other bugs
such as taking references to file handles and callbacks instead of making
a copy. Only Tk rivals it in its brokenness.
This adaptor module employs the same workaround around the watcher problem
as Tk and should therefore be avoided. (This was done for simplicity, one
could in theory work around the problems with lower overhead by managing
our own watchers).
Event::Lib also leaks file handles and memory and tends to just exit on
problems.
It also doesn't work around the Windows bug of not signalling TCP
connection failures.
Avoid Event::Lib if you can.
