+=head1 CAVEATS
+
+Because this program is based on L<POE::Component::NetSNMP::agent>,
+it suffers from the same problem, which is that when the snmpd daemon
+it is connected to dies, the default POE loop will spin over the
+half-closed Unix socket, eating 100% of CPU until the daemon is restarted
+and the sub-agent has reconnected. A workaround is to use an alternative
+event loop: POE::Loop::AnyEvent, POE::Loop::EV and POE::XS::Loop::EPoll
+have been tested to not expose this problem.
+
+To select the event loop, set the C<POE_EVENT_LOOP> environment variable
+to its name: C<POE_EVENT_LOOP=POE::Loop::AnyEvent>
