(description
"@code{Async::Interrupt} implements a single feature only of interest
to advanced perl modules, namely asynchronous interruptions (think \"UNIX
signals\", which are very similar).
Sometimes, modules wish to run code asynchronously (in another thread,
or from a signal handler), and then signal the perl interpreter on
certain events. One common way is to write some data to a pipe and use
an event handling toolkit to watch for I/O events. Another way is to
send a signal. Those methods are slow, and in the case of a pipe, also
not asynchronous - it won't interrupt a running perl interpreter.
This module implements asynchronous notifications that enable you to
signal running perl code from another thread, asynchronously, and
sometimes even without using a single syscall.")
