The first one found +is used. If none is found, the module tries to load these modules in +the order given. The first one that could be successfully loaded will +be used. If still none could be found, AnyEvent will fall back to a +pure-perl event loop, which is also not very efficient. + +WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/AnyEvent/ |
