		1221	=head1 ERROR AND EXCEPTION HANDLING
		1222
		1223	In general, AnyEvent does not do any error handling - it relies on the
		1224	caller to do that if required. The L<AnyEvent::Strict> module (see also
		1225	the C<PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT> environment variable, below) provides strict
		1226	checking of all AnyEvent methods, however, which is highly useful during
		1227	development.
		1228
		1229	As for exception handling (i.e. runtime errors and exceptions thrown while
		1230	executing a callback), this is not only highly event-loop specific, but
		1231	also not in any way wrapped by this module, as this is the job of the main
		1232	program.
		1233
		1234	The pure perl event loop simply re-throws the exception (usually
		1235	within C<< condvar->recv >>), the L<Event> and L<EV> modules call C<<
		1236	$Event/EV::DIED->() >>, L<Glib> uses C<< install_exception_handler >> and
		1237	so on.
		1238
		1239	=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
		1240
		1241	The following environment variables are used by this module or its
		1242	submodules:
		1243
		1244	=over 4
		1245
		1246	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE>
		1247
		1248	By default, AnyEvent will be completely silent except in fatal
		1249	conditions. You can set this environment variable to make AnyEvent more
		1250	talkative.
		1251
		1252	When set to C<1> or higher, causes AnyEvent to warn about unexpected
		1253	conditions, such as not being able to load the event model specified by
		1254	C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>.
		1255
		1256	When set to C<2> or higher, cause AnyEvent to report to STDERR which event
		1257	model it chooses.
		1258
		1259	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT>
		1260
		1261	AnyEvent does not do much argument checking by default, as thorough
		1262	argument checking is very costly. Setting this variable to a true value
		1263	will cause AnyEvent to load C<AnyEvent::Strict> and then to thoroughly
		1264	check the arguments passed to most method calls. If it finds any problems
		1265	it will croak.
		1266
		1267	In other words, enables "strict" mode.
		1268
		1269	Unlike C<use strict>, it is definitely recommended ot keep it off in
		1270	production. Keeping C<PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT=1> in your environment while
		1271	developing programs can be very useful, however.
		1272
		1273	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>
		1274
		1275	This can be used to specify the event model to be used by AnyEvent, before
		1276	auto detection and -probing kicks in. It must be a string consisting
		1277	entirely of ASCII letters. The string C<AnyEvent::Impl::> gets prepended
		1278	and the resulting module name is loaded and if the load was successful,
		1279	used as event model. If it fails to load AnyEvent will proceed with
		1280	auto detection and -probing.
		1281
		1282	This functionality might change in future versions.
		1283
		1284	For example, to force the pure perl model (L<AnyEvent::Impl::Perl>) you
		1285	could start your program like this:
		1286
		1287	PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL=Perl perl ...
		1288
		1289	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS>
		1290
		1291	Used by both L<AnyEvent::DNS> and L<AnyEvent::Socket> to determine preferences
		1292	for IPv4 or IPv6. The default is unspecified (and might change, or be the result
		1293	of auto probing).
		1294
		1295	Must be set to a comma-separated list of protocols or address families,
		1296	current supported: C<ipv4> and C<ipv6>. Only protocols mentioned will be
		1297	used, and preference will be given to protocols mentioned earlier in the
		1298	list.
		1299
		1300	This variable can effectively be used for denial-of-service attacks
		1301	against local programs (e.g. when setuid), although the impact is likely
		1302	small, as the program has to handle conenction and other failures anyways.
		1303
		1304	Examples: C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv4,ipv6> - prefer IPv4 over IPv6,
		1305	but support both and try to use both. C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv4>
		1306	- only support IPv4, never try to resolve or contact IPv6
		1307	addresses. C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv6,ipv4> support either IPv4 or
		1308	IPv6, but prefer IPv6 over IPv4.
		1309
		1310	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_EDNS0>
		1311
		1312	Used by L<AnyEvent::DNS> to decide whether to use the EDNS0 extension
		1313	for DNS. This extension is generally useful to reduce DNS traffic, but
		1314	some (broken) firewalls drop such DNS packets, which is why it is off by
		1315	default.
		1316
		1317	Setting this variable to C<1> will cause L<AnyEvent::DNS> to announce
		1318	EDNS0 in its DNS requests.
		1319
		1320	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_FORKS>
		1321
		1322	The maximum number of child processes that C<AnyEvent::Util::fork_call>
		1323	will create in parallel.

1181	C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>.
1182
1183	When set to C<2> or higher, cause AnyEvent to report to STDERR which event
1184	model it chooses.
1185
1186	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT>
1187
1188	AnyEvent does not do much argument checking by default, as thorough
1189	argument checking is very costly. Setting this variable to a true value
1190	will cause AnyEvent to thoroughly check the arguments passed to most
1191	method calls and croaks if it finds any problems. In other words, enables
1192	"strict" mode. Unlike C<use strict> it is definitely recommended ot keep
1193	it off in production.
1194
1195	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>
1196
1197	This can be used to specify the event model to be used by AnyEvent, before
1198	auto detection and -probing kicks in. It must be a string consisting
1199	entirely of ASCII letters. The string C<AnyEvent::Impl::> gets prepended
1200	and the resulting module name is loaded and if the load was successful,
1201	used as event model. If it fails to load AnyEvent will proceed with
1202	auto detection and -probing.
1203
1204	This functionality might change in future versions.
1205
1206	For example, to force the pure perl model (L<AnyEvent::Impl::Perl>) you
1207	could start your program like this:
1208
1209	PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL=Perl perl ...
1210
1211	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS>
1212
1213	Used by both L<AnyEvent::DNS> and L<AnyEvent::Socket> to determine preferences
1214	for IPv4 or IPv6. The default is unspecified (and might change, or be the result
1215	of auto probing).
1216
1217	Must be set to a comma-separated list of protocols or address families,
1218	current supported: C<ipv4> and C<ipv6>. Only protocols mentioned will be
1219	used, and preference will be given to protocols mentioned earlier in the
1220	list.
1221
1222	This variable can effectively be used for denial-of-service attacks
1223	against local programs (e.g. when setuid), although the impact is likely
1224	small, as the program has to handle connection errors already-
1225
1226	Examples: C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv4,ipv6> - prefer IPv4 over IPv6,
1227	but support both and try to use both. C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv4>
1228	- only support IPv4, never try to resolve or contact IPv6
1229	addresses. C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv6,ipv4> support either IPv4 or
1230	IPv6, but prefer IPv6 over IPv4.
1231
1232	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_EDNS0>
1233
1234	Used by L<AnyEvent::DNS> to decide whether to use the EDNS0 extension
1235	for DNS. This extension is generally useful to reduce DNS traffic, but
1236	some (broken) firewalls drop such DNS packets, which is why it is off by
1237	default.
1238
1239	Setting this variable to C<1> will cause L<AnyEvent::DNS> to announce
1240	EDNS0 in its DNS requests.
1241
1242	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_FORKS>
1243
1244	The maximum number of child processes that C<AnyEvent::Util::fork_call>
1245	will create in parallel.

		1804
		1805	=item SIGPIPE
		1806
		1807	A no-op handler is installed for C<SIGPIPE> when C<$SIG{PIPE}> is C<undef>
		1808	when AnyEvent gets loaded.
		1809
		1810	The rationale for this is that AnyEvent users usually do not really depend
		1811	on SIGPIPE delivery (which is purely an optimisation for shell use, or
		1812	badly-written programs), but C<SIGPIPE> can cause spurious and rare
		1813	program exits as a lot of people do not expect C<SIGPIPE> when writing to
		1814	some random socket.
		1815
		1816	The rationale for installing a no-op handler as opposed to ignoring it is
		1817	that this way, the handler will be restored to defaults on exec.
