Thats due to windows limitations, you can recompile Event with
FD_SETSIZE=1024 or so (but this makes it even slower).

IOCP are not really event-based, they are I/O based, so they cannot sensibly
be integrated into Event as the models are completely different.

There is a replacement library called libev which doesn't suffer from
that, and also has a perl module interface.
Btw., libevent also has an event-based model and is incompatible to iocp
for its event core (there is a buffering module that could use it for I/O,
though).

Unlikely, as the library doesn't deliver events for I/O readyness, which is
all that Event is about.
