| Subject: | IO::Async::File sensitive to file going away |
When a file watcher is active, and the file is moved/deleted, at some stage
the call to stat() will make the program crash.
As a trivial counter measure I wrapped the call into an eval {}. Interestingly
enough, IO::Async::File recovers nicely when the file is recreated.
Trivial patch attached.

PS: I am doing A LOT with IO::Async now and it has not yet failed me. Thx!!
