+=head1 NAME
+
+ Daemon::Generic::Event - Generic daemon framework with Event.pm
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use Daemon::Generic::Event;
+
+ @ISA = qw(Daemon::Generic::Event);
+
+ sub gd_preconfig {
+ # stuff
+ }
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Daemon::Generic::Event is a subclass of L<Daemon::Generic> that
+predefines some methods:
+
+=over 15
+
+=item gd_run()
+
+Setup a periodic callback to C<gd_run_body()> if there is a C<gd_run_body()>.
+Call C<Event::loop()>.
+
+=item gd_setup_signals()
+
+Bind SIGHUP to call C<gd_reconfig_event()>.
+Bind SIGINT to call C<gd_quit_event()>.
+
+=back
+
+To use Daemon::Generic::Event, you have to provide a C<gd_preconfig()>
+method. It can be empty if you have a C<gd_run_body()>.
+
+Set up your own events in C<gd_preconfig()> and C<gd_postconfig()>.
+
+If you have a C<gd_run_body()> method, it will be called once per
+second or every C<gd_interval()> seconds if you have a C<gd_interval()>
+method. Unlike in L<Daemon::Generic::While1>, C<gd_run_body()> should
+not include a call to C<sleep()>.
