From staring at the patch:

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-perl/packages/libio-async-perl.git;a=commitdiff;h=c9312eb

++# Some Loop implementations do not accurately handle sub-second timers.
++# This only matters for unit tests
++use constant _CAN_SUBSECOND_ACCURATELY => 1;

++   SKIP: {
++      skip "Unable to handle sub-second timers accurately", 3 unless $loop->_CAN_SUBSECOND_ACCURATELY;


Should this be "_CAN_SUBSECOND_ACCURATELY => 0" to turn it off unless
some loop test explicitly sets it?


Cheers,
gregor
