		424
		425	Sometimes there is a need to do something, but it is not so important
		426	to do it instantly, but only when there is nothing better to do. This
		427	"nothing better to do" is usually defined to be "no other events need
		428	attention by the event loop".
		429
		430	Idle watchers ideally get invoked when the event loop has nothing
		431	better to do, just before it would block the process to wait for new
		432	events. Instead of blocking, the idle watcher is invoked.
		433
		434	Most event loops unfortunately do not really support idle watchers (only
		435	EV, Event and Glib do it in a usable fashion) - for the rest, AnyEvent
		436	will simply call the callback "from time to time".
		437
		438	Example: read lines from STDIN, but only process them when the
		439	program is otherwise idle:
		440
		441	my @lines; # read data
		442	my $idle_w;
		443	my $io_w = AnyEvent->io (fh => \*STDIN, poll => 'r', cb => sub {
		444	push @lines, scalar <STDIN>;
		445
		446	# start an idle watcher, if not already done
		447	$idle_w \|\|= AnyEvent->idle (cb => sub {
		448	# handle only one line, when there are lines left
		449	if (my $line = shift @lines) {
		450	print "handled when idle: $line";
		451	} else {
		452	# otherwise disable the idle watcher again
		453	undef $idle_w;

		1321	=head1 ERROR AND EXCEPTION HANDLING
		1322
		1323	In general, AnyEvent does not do any error handling - it relies on the
		1324	caller to do that if required. The L<AnyEvent::Strict> module (see also
		1325	the C<PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT> environment variable, below) provides strict
		1326	checking of all AnyEvent methods, however, which is highly useful during
		1327	development.
		1328
		1329	As for exception handling (i.e. runtime errors and exceptions thrown while
		1330	executing a callback), this is not only highly event-loop specific, but
		1331	also not in any way wrapped by this module, as this is the job of the main
		1332	program.
		1333
		1334	The pure perl event loop simply re-throws the exception (usually
		1335	within C<< condvar->recv >>), the L<Event> and L<EV> modules call C<<
		1336	$Event/EV::DIED->() >>, L<Glib> uses C<< install_exception_handler >> and
		1337	so on.
		1338
		1339	=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
		1340
		1341	The following environment variables are used by this module or its
		1342	submodules:
		1343
		1344	=over 4
		1345
		1346	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE>
		1347
		1348	By default, AnyEvent will be completely silent except in fatal
		1349	conditions. You can set this environment variable to make AnyEvent more
		1350	talkative.
		1351
		1352	When set to C<1> or higher, causes AnyEvent to warn about unexpected
		1353	conditions, such as not being able to load the event model specified by
		1354	C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>.
		1355
		1356	When set to C<2> or higher, cause AnyEvent to report to STDERR which event
		1357	model it chooses.
		1358
		1359	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT>
		1360
		1361	AnyEvent does not do much argument checking by default, as thorough
		1362	argument checking is very costly. Setting this variable to a true value
		1363	will cause AnyEvent to load C<AnyEvent::Strict> and then to thoroughly
		1364	check the arguments passed to most method calls. If it finds any problems
		1365	it will croak.
		1366
		1367	In other words, enables "strict" mode.
		1368
		1369	Unlike C<use strict>, it is definitely recommended ot keep it off in
		1370	production. Keeping C<PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT=1> in your environment while
		1371	developing programs can be very useful, however.
		1372
		1373	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>
		1374
		1375	This can be used to specify the event model to be used by AnyEvent, before
		1376	auto detection and -probing kicks in. It must be a string consisting
		1377	entirely of ASCII letters. The string C<AnyEvent::Impl::> gets prepended
		1378	and the resulting module name is loaded and if the load was successful,
		1379	used as event model. If it fails to load AnyEvent will proceed with
		1380	auto detection and -probing.
		1381
		1382	This functionality might change in future versions.
		1383
		1384	For example, to force the pure perl model (L<AnyEvent::Impl::Perl>) you
		1385	could start your program like this:
		1386
		1387	PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL=Perl perl ...
		1388
		1389	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS>
		1390
		1391	Used by both L<AnyEvent::DNS> and L<AnyEvent::Socket> to determine preferences
		1392	for IPv4 or IPv6. The default is unspecified (and might change, or be the result
		1393	of auto probing).
		1394
		1395	Must be set to a comma-separated list of protocols or address families,
		1396	current supported: C<ipv4> and C<ipv6>. Only protocols mentioned will be
		1397	used, and preference will be given to protocols mentioned earlier in the
		1398	list.
		1399
		1400	This variable can effectively be used for denial-of-service attacks
		1401	against local programs (e.g. when setuid), although the impact is likely
		1402	small, as the program has to handle conenction and other failures anyways.
		1403
		1404	Examples: C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv4,ipv6> - prefer IPv4 over IPv6,
		1405	but support both and try to use both. C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv4>
		1406	- only support IPv4, never try to resolve or contact IPv6
		1407	addresses. C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv6,ipv4> support either IPv4 or
		1408	IPv6, but prefer IPv6 over IPv4.
		1409
		1410	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_EDNS0>
		1411
		1412	Used by L<AnyEvent::DNS> to decide whether to use the EDNS0 extension
		1413	for DNS. This extension is generally useful to reduce DNS traffic, but
		1414	some (broken) firewalls drop such DNS packets, which is why it is off by
		1415	default.
		1416
		1417	Setting this variable to C<1> will cause L<AnyEvent::DNS> to announce
		1418	EDNS0 in its DNS requests.
		1419
		1420	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_FORKS>
		1421
		1422	The maximum number of child processes that C<AnyEvent::Util::fork_call>
