Bug#716928: libev-perl: No support for epoll

Package: libev-perl
Version: 4.11-2
Severity: normal

libev-perl does not come with support for epoll, even though libev
supports it. The problem comes from the way Makefile.PL determines epoll
support by looking for /usr/include/sys/epoll.h, which doesn't work on
multiarch. I've filed a bug upstream about this already:

  https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=86928

The Debian package can work around this by setting the environment
variable EV_EPOLL=1 before calling Makefile.PL.
