+authors to pick a specific event loop, and without noticable overhead.
+Currently supported event loops are EV, Event, Glib/Gtk2, Tk, Qt,
+@code{Event::Lib}, Irssi, @code{IO::Async} and POE (and thus also WxWidgets
+and Prima).  It also comes with a very fast Pure Perl event loop that does
+not rely on XS.")
