  Log:
  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
  nonblocking operation (again, sockets, pipes etc.) is very inefficient
  or might not work (aio_read fails on sockets/pipes/fifos). Use an
  event loop for that (such as the Event module): IO::AIO will naturally
  fit into such an event loop itself.
