Description:
IO::AIO implements asynchronous I/O using whatever means your operating system supports. It is implemented as an interface to libeio. Asynchronous means that operations that can normally block your program (e.g. reading from disk) will be done asynchronously: the operation will still block, but you can do something else in the meantime. This is extremely useful for programs that need to stay interactive even when doing heavy I/O (GUI programs, high performance network servers etc.), but can also be used to easily do operations in parallel that are normally done sequentially, e.g. stat'ing many files, which is much faster on a RAID volume or over NFS when you do a number of stat operations concurrently. While most of this works on all types of file descriptors (for example sockets), using these functions on file descriptors that support nonblocking operation (again, sockets, pipes etc.) is very inefficient. Use an event loop for that (such as the EV module): IO::AIO will naturally fit into such an event loop itself. In addition to asynchronous I/O, this module also exports some rather arcane interfaces, such as madvise or linux's splice system call, which is why the A in AIO can also mean advanced.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles

It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.

Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.

There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

This module implements asynchronous I/O using whatever means your
operating system supports.

Asynchronous means that operations that can normally block your
program (e.g. reading from disk) will be done asynchronously: the
operation will still block, but you can do something else in the
meantime. This is extremely useful for programs that need to stay
interactive even when doing heavy I/O (GUI programs, high performance
network servers etc.), but can also be used to easily do operations in
parallel that are normally done sequentially, e.g. stat'ing many files,
which is much faster on a RAID volume or over NFS when you do a number
of stat operations concurrently.

While most of this works on all types of file descriptors (for example
sockets), using these functions on file descriptors that support
