NAME

IO::Async::Loop::linux - pick the best Loop implementation on Linux

DESCRIPTION

If this module is installed, then the best Loop implementation will automatically be picked when IO::Async::Loop->new() is called on a Linux machine. It will attempt to use either of the following, in order, if they are available

• IO::Async::Loop::Epoll

• IO::Async::Loop::Ppoll

The end application using IO::Async does not need to make any special effort to use these; the magic constructor in IO::Async::Loop will automatically find and use it if it is installed.

$ perl -MIO::Async::Loop -E 'say ref IO::Async::Loop->new'
IO::Async::Loop::Epoll
