@@ -3335,7 +3351,8 @@ notification model, which cannot be implemented efficiently on windows
 The winsocket C<select> function doesn't follow POSIX in that it
 requires socket I<handles> and not socket I<file descriptors> (it is
 also extremely buggy). This makes select very inefficient, and also
-requires a mapping from file descriptors to socket handles. See the
+requires a mapping from file descriptors to socket handles (the Microsoft
+C runtime provides the function C<_open_osfhandle> for this). See the
 discussion of the C<EV_SELECT_USE_FD_SET>, C<EV_SELECT_IS_WINSOCKET> and
 C<EV_FD_TO_WIN32_HANDLE> preprocessor symbols for more info.
