It doesn't make sense to put that in
IO::Poll. So I think there may still be use for IO::Epoll on CPAN, even
if it's mostly supplanted by IO:Poll.
I think I'll proceed with uploading IO::Epoll, that way it's available
for those who need it with their current perl, or who need the low-level
functions.

As a stopgap solution f.ex to
that professed to be
a Perl interface to epoll, so I wrote one. IO::Epoll exposes the
low-level epoll system calls (epoll_create, epoll_ctl and epoll_wait),
but it also has a higher-level OO API designed to be a drop-in
replacement for IO::Poll.
My initial benchmarks show a huge performance improvement ov
