+perl-Linux-FD is a perl module that enables scripts to use three types
+of Linux-specific filehandles:
+
+  * event
+  * signal
+  * timer
+
+This allows script writers to use conventional polling mechanisms to
+wait for a large variety of events.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
