NAME
       EV::MakeMaker - MakeMaker glue for the C-level EV API

SYNOPSIS
       This allows you to access some libevent functionality from other perl modules.

DESCRIPTION
       For optimal performance, hook into EV at the C-level.  You'll need to make changes to your "Makefile.PL" and add code to your "xs" / "c"
       file(s).

HOW TO
   Makefile.PL
	 use EV::MakeMaker qw(ev_args);

	 # ... set up %args ...

	 WriteMakefile (ev_args (%args));

   XS
	 #include "EVAPI.h"

	 BOOT:
	   I_EV_API ("YourModule");

API
       See the EVAPI.h <http://cvs.schmorp.de/EV/EV/EVAPI.h> header, which you should include instead of ev.h.

       In short, all the functions and macros from ev.h should work, except that the trailing underscore macros ("EV_A_", "EV_DEFAULT_") are not
       available (except "EV_P_" :).

       Multiplicity is enabled.

       The "data" member in each watcher is of type "SV *" and not "void *" (this might change at some point).

EXAMPLE
       The EV::Glib, EV::ADNS and Glib::EV modules all give nice examples on how to use this module.

       Here are some .xs fragments taken from EV::ADNS that should get you going:

	 #include "EVAPI.h"

	 static ev_prepare pw;
	 static ev_idle iw;

	 static void
	 idle_cb (EV_P_ ev_idle *w, int revents)
	 {
	   ev_idle_stop (EV_A, w);
	 }

	 MODULE = ...

	 BOOT:
	 {
	   I_EV_API ("EV::ADNS");
	   ev_prepare_init (&pw, prepare_cb);
	   ev_init (&iw, idle_cb); ev_set_priority (&iw, EV_MINPRI);
	   ev_idle_start (EV_DEFAULT, &iw);
	 }
