		1252	=head1 ERROR AND EXCEPTION HANDLING
		1253
		1254	In general, AnyEvent does not do any error handling - it relies on the
		1255	caller to do that if required. The L<AnyEvent::Strict> module (see also
		1256	the C<PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT> environment variable, below) provides strict
		1257	checking of all AnyEvent methods, however, which is highly useful during
		1258	development.
		1259
		1260	As for exception handling (i.e. runtime errors and exceptions thrown while
		1261	executing a callback), this is not only highly event-loop specific, but
		1262	also not in any way wrapped by this module, as this is the job of the main
		1263	program.
		1264
		1265	The pure perl event loop simply re-throws the exception (usually
		1266	within C<< condvar->recv >>), the L<Event> and L<EV> modules call C<<
		1267	$Event/EV::DIED->() >>, L<Glib> uses C<< install_exception_handler >> and
		1268	so on.
		1269
		1270	=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
		1271
		1272	The following environment variables are used by this module or its
		1273	submodules:
		1274
		1275	=over 4
		1276
		1277	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE>
		1278
		1279	By default, AnyEvent will be completely silent except in fatal
		1280	conditions. You can set this environment variable to make AnyEvent more
		1281	talkative.
		1282
		1283	When set to C<1> or higher, causes AnyEvent to warn about unexpected
		1284	conditions, such as not being able to load the event model specified by
		1285	C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>.
		1286
		1287	When set to C<2> or higher, cause AnyEvent to report to STDERR which event
		1288	model it chooses.
		1289
		1290	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT>
		1291
		1292	AnyEvent does not do much argument checking by default, as thorough
		1293	argument checking is very costly. Setting this variable to a true value
		1294	will cause AnyEvent to load C<AnyEvent::Strict> and then to thoroughly
		1295	check the arguments passed to most method calls. If it finds any problems
		1296	it will croak.
		1297
		1298	In other words, enables "strict" mode.
		1299
		1300	Unlike C<use strict>, it is definitely recommended ot keep it off in
		1301	production. Keeping C<PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT=1> in your environment while
		1302	developing programs can be very useful, however.
		1303
		1304	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>
		1305
		1306	This can be used to specify the event model to be used by AnyEvent, before
		1307	auto detection and -probing kicks in. It must be a string consisting
		1308	entirely of ASCII letters. The string C<AnyEvent::Impl::> gets prepended
		1309	and the resulting module name is loaded and if the load was successful,
		1310	used as event model. If it fails to load AnyEvent will proceed with
		1311	auto detection and -probing.
		1312
		1313	This functionality might change in future versions.
		1314
		1315	For example, to force the pure perl model (L<AnyEvent::Impl::Perl>) you
		1316	could start your program like this:
		1317
		1318	PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL=Perl perl ...
		1319
		1320	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS>
		1321
		1322	Used by both L<AnyEvent::DNS> and L<AnyEvent::Socket> to determine preferences
		1323	for IPv4 or IPv6. The default is unspecified (and might change, or be the result
		1324	of auto probing).
		1325
		1326	Must be set to a comma-separated list of protocols or address families,
		1327	current supported: C<ipv4> and C<ipv6>. Only protocols mentioned will be
		1328	used, and preference will be given to protocols mentioned earlier in the
		1329	list.
		1330
		1331	This variable can effectively be used for denial-of-service attacks
		1332	against local programs (e.g. when setuid), although the impact is likely
		1333	small, as the program has to handle conenction and other failures anyways.
		1334
		1335	Examples: C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv4,ipv6> - prefer IPv4 over IPv6,
		1336	but support both and try to use both. C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv4>
		1337	- only support IPv4, never try to resolve or contact IPv6
		1338	addresses. C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv6,ipv4> support either IPv4 or
		1339	IPv6, but prefer IPv6 over IPv4.
		1340
		1341	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_EDNS0>
		1342
		1343	Used by L<AnyEvent::DNS> to decide whether to use the EDNS0 extension
		1344	for DNS. This extension is generally useful to reduce DNS traffic, but
		1345	some (broken) firewalls drop such DNS packets, which is why it is off by
		1346	default.
		1347
		1348	Setting this variable to C<1> will cause L<AnyEvent::DNS> to announce
		1349	EDNS0 in its DNS requests.
		1350
		1351	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_FORKS>
		1352
		1353	The maximum number of child processes that C<AnyEvent::Util::fork_call>
		1354	will create in parallel.

1161	entirely of ASCII letters. The string C<AnyEvent::Impl::> gets prepended
1162	and the resulting module name is loaded and if the load was successful,
1163	used as event model. If it fails to load AnyEvent will proceed with
1164	auto detection and -probing.
1165
1166	This functionality might change in future versions.
1167
1168	For example, to force the pure perl model (L<AnyEvent::Impl::Perl>) you
1169	could start your program like this:
1170
1171	PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL=Perl perl ...
1172
1173	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS>
1174
1175	Used by both L<AnyEvent::DNS> and L<AnyEvent::Socket> to determine preferences
1176	for IPv4 or IPv6. The default is unspecified (and might change, or be the result
1177	of auto probing).
1178
1179	Must be set to a comma-separated list of protocols or address families,
1180	current supported: C<ipv4> and C<ipv6>. Only protocols mentioned will be
1181	used, and preference will be given to protocols mentioned earlier in the
1182	list.
1183
1184	This variable can effectively be used for denial-of-service attacks
1185	against local programs (e.g. when setuid), although the impact is likely
1186	small, as the program has to handle connection errors already-
1187
1188	Examples: C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv4,ipv6> - prefer IPv4 over IPv6,
1189	but support both and try to use both. C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv4>
1190	- only support IPv4, never try to resolve or contact IPv6
1191	addresses. C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv6,ipv4> support either IPv4 or
1192	IPv6, but prefer IPv6 over IPv4.
1193
1194	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_EDNS0>
1195
1196	Used by L<AnyEvent::DNS> to decide whether to use the EDNS0 extension
1197	for DNS. This extension is generally useful to reduce DNS traffic, but
1198	some (broken) firewalls drop such DNS packets, which is why it is off by
1199	default.
1200
1201	Setting this variable to C<1> will cause L<AnyEvent::DNS> to announce
1202	EDNS0 in its DNS requests.
1203
1204	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_FORKS>
1205
1206	The maximum number of child processes that C<AnyEvent::Util::fork_call>
1207	will create in parallel.

		1827

		1829
		1830	=item SIGCHLD
		1831
		1832	A handler for C<SIGCHLD> is installed by AnyEvent's child watcher
		1833	emulation for event loops that do not support them natively. Also, some
		1834	event loops install a similar handler.
		1835
		1836	=item SIGPIPE
		1837
		1838	A no-op handler is installed for C<SIGPIPE> when C<$SIG{PIPE}> is C<undef>
		1839	when AnyEvent gets loaded.
		1840
		1841	The rationale for this is that AnyEvent users usually do not really depend
		1842	on SIGPIPE delivery (which is purely an optimisation for shell use, or
		1843	badly-written programs), but C<SIGPIPE> can cause spurious and rare
		1844	program exits as a lot of people do not expect C<SIGPIPE> when writing to
		1845	some random socket.
		1846
		1847	The rationale for installing a no-op handler as opposed to ignoring it is
		1848	that this way, the handler will be restored to defaults on exec.
		1849
