If the signal watcher is cancelled (or otherwise disabled) then rsignal is reset to SIG_DFL. Maybe the original handler should be restored. On the other hand, assignment to %SIG will mess up Event watchers so maybe Event should refuse to watch a signal if a handler is already installed. optimization update io event-mask without invalidating cache determine IntervalEpsilon dynamically & make available from perl use fancy profiler tricks to figure out how to boost performance queue events from both sides? try to hoist system calls from the inner loop there seems to be some sort of bug in the shutdown phase Attempt to free unreferenced scalar during global destruction.

Linux is able to make the assumption that the next & prev pointers are always the same offset from the top of the structure. This assumption is true for pe_watcher.all, pe_event.peer, pe_event.que, and pe_qcallback.ring. However, pe_timeable.ring is stored at lots of different offsets. Hm hm. I guess some bytes are wasted but otherwise Event will need two different kinds of linked lists...
