		1235	=head1 ERROR AND EXCEPTION HANDLING
		1236
		1237	In general, AnyEvent does not do any error handling - it relies on the
		1238	caller to do that if required. The L<AnyEvent::Strict> module (see also
		1239	the C<PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT> environment variable, below) provides strict
		1240	checking of all AnyEvent methods, however, which is highly useful during
		1241	development.
		1242
		1243	As for exception handling (i.e. runtime errors and exceptions thrown while
		1244	executing a callback), this is not only highly event-loop specific, but
		1245	also not in any way wrapped by this module, as this is the job of the main
		1246	program.
		1247
		1248	The pure perl event loop simply re-throws the exception (usually
		1249	within C<< condvar->recv >>), the L<Event> and L<EV> modules call C<<
		1250	$Event/EV::DIED->() >>, L<Glib> uses C<< install_exception_handler >> and
		1251	so on.
		1252
		1253	=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
		1254
		1255	The following environment variables are used by this module or its
		1256	submodules:
		1257
		1258	=over 4
		1259
		1260	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE>
		1261
		1262	By default, AnyEvent will be completely silent except in fatal
		1263	conditions. You can set this environment variable to make AnyEvent more
		1264	talkative.
		1265
		1266	When set to C<1> or higher, causes AnyEvent to warn about unexpected
		1267	conditions, such as not being able to load the event model specified by
		1268	C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>.
		1269
		1270	When set to C<2> or higher, cause AnyEvent to report to STDERR which event
		1271	model it chooses.
		1272
		1273	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT>
		1274
		1275	AnyEvent does not do much argument checking by default, as thorough
		1276	argument checking is very costly. Setting this variable to a true value
		1277	will cause AnyEvent to load C<AnyEvent::Strict> and then to thoroughly
		1278	check the arguments passed to most method calls. If it finds any problems
		1279	it will croak.
		1280
		1281	In other words, enables "strict" mode.
		1282
		1283	Unlike C<use strict>, it is definitely recommended ot keep it off in
		1284	production. Keeping C<PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT=1> in your environment while
		1285	developing programs can be very useful, however.
		1286
		1287	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>
		1288
		1289	This can be used to specify the event model to be used by AnyEvent, before
		1290	auto detection and -probing kicks in. It must be a string consisting
		1291	entirely of ASCII letters. The string C<AnyEvent::Impl::> gets prepended
		1292	and the resulting module name is loaded and if the load was successful,
		1293	used as event model. If it fails to load AnyEvent will proceed with
		1294	auto detection and -probing.
		1295
		1296	This functionality might change in future versions.
		1297
		1298	For example, to force the pure perl model (L<AnyEvent::Impl::Perl>) you
		1299	could start your program like this:
		1300
		1301	PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL=Perl perl ...
		1302
		1303	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS>
		1304
		1305	Used by both L<AnyEvent::DNS> and L<AnyEvent::Socket> to determine preferences
		1306	for IPv4 or IPv6. The default is unspecified (and might change, or be the result
		1307	of auto probing).
		1308
		1309	Must be set to a comma-separated list of protocols or address families,
		1310	current supported: C<ipv4> and C<ipv6>. Only protocols mentioned will be
		1311	used, and preference will be given to protocols mentioned earlier in the
		1312	list.
		1313
		1314	This variable can effectively be used for denial-of-service attacks
		1315	against local programs (e.g. when setuid), although the impact is likely
		1316	small, as the program has to handle conenction and other failures anyways.
		1317
		1318	Examples: C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv4,ipv6> - prefer IPv4 over IPv6,
		1319	but support both and try to use both. C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv4>
		1320	- only support IPv4, never try to resolve or contact IPv6
		1321	addresses. C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv6,ipv4> support either IPv4 or
		1322	IPv6, but prefer IPv6 over IPv4.
		1323
		1324	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_EDNS0>
		1325
		1326	Used by L<AnyEvent::DNS> to decide whether to use the EDNS0 extension
		1327	for DNS. This extension is generally useful to reduce DNS traffic, but
		1328	some (broken) firewalls drop such DNS packets, which is why it is off by
		1329	default.
		1330
		1331	Setting this variable to C<1> will cause L<AnyEvent::DNS> to announce
		1332	EDNS0 in its DNS requests.

		1810
		1811	=over 4
		1812
		1813	=item SIGCHLD
		1814
		1815	A handler for C<SIGCHLD> is installed by AnyEvent's child watcher
		1816	emulation for event loops that do not support them natively. Also, some
		1817	event loops install a similar handler.
		1818
		1819	=item SIGPIPE
		1820
		1821	A no-op handler is installed for C<SIGPIPE> when C<$SIG{PIPE}> is C<undef>
		1822	when AnyEvent gets loaded.
		1823
		1824	The rationale for this is that AnyEvent users usually do not really depend
		1825	on SIGPIPE delivery (which is purely an optimisation for shell use, or
		1826	badly-written programs), but C<SIGPIPE> can cause spurious and rare
		1827	program exits as a lot of people do not expect C<SIGPIPE> when writing to
		1828	some random socket.
		1829
		1830	The rationale for installing a no-op handler as opposed to ignoring it is
		1831	that this way, the handler will be restored to defaults on exec.
		1832
		1833	Feel free to install your own handler, or reset it to defaults.
