+perl-EV is a perl interface to libev, a high performance full-featured
+event loop.
+
+This module is very fast and scalable. It is actually so fast that you
+can use it through the AnyEvent module, stay portable to other event
+loops (if you don't rely on any watcher types not available through it)
+and still be faster than with any other event loop currently supported
+in Perl.
+
+Note that this bundles its own version of libev, so it does not depend
+on the SlackBuilds.org version of libev being present.
