251		241
		242	AnyEvent has two additional methods that return the "current time":
		243
		244	=over 4
		245
		246	=item AnyEvent->time
		247
		248	This returns the "current wallclock time" as a fractional number of
		249	seconds since the Epoch (the same thing as C<time> or C<Time::HiRes::time>
		250	return, and the result is guaranteed to be compatible with those).
		251
		252	It progresses independently of any event loop processing, i.e. each call
		253	will check the system clock, which usually gets updated frequently.
		254
		255	=item AnyEvent->now
		256
		257	This also returns the "current wallclock time", but unlike C<time>, above,
		258	this value might change only once per event loop iteration, depending on
		259	the event loop (most return the same time as C<time>, above). This is the
		260	time that AnyEvent's timers get scheduled against.
		261
		262	I<In almost all cases (in all cases if you don't care), this is the
		263	function to call when you want to know the current time.>
		264
		265	This function is also often faster then C<< AnyEvent->time >>, and
		266	thus the preferred method if you want some timestamp (for example,
		267	L<AnyEvent::Handle> uses this to update it's activity timeouts).
		268
		269	The rest of this section is only of relevance if you try to be very exact
		270	with your timing, you can skip it without bad conscience.
		271
		272	For a practical example of when these times differ, consider L<Event::Lib>
		273	and L<EV> and the following set-up:
		274
		275	The event loop is running and has just invoked one of your callback at
		276	time=500 (assume no other callbacks delay processing). In your callback,
		277	you wait a second by executing C<sleep 1> (blocking the process for a
		278	second) and then (at time=501) you create a relative timer that fires
		279	after three seconds.
		280
		281	With L<Event::Lib>, C<< AnyEvent->time >> and C<< AnyEvent->now >> will
		282	both return C<501>, because that is the current time, and the timer will
		283	be scheduled to fire at time=504 (C<501> + C<3>).
		284
		285	With L<EV>, C<< AnyEvent->time >> returns C<501> (as that is the current
		286	time), but C<< AnyEvent->now >> returns C<500>, as that is the time the
		287	last event processing phase started. With L<EV>, your timer gets scheduled
		288	to run at time=503 (C<500> + C<3>).
		289
		290	In one sense, L<Event::Lib> is more exact, as it uses the current time
		291	regardless of any delays introduced by event processing. However, most
		292	callbacks do not expect large delays in processing, so this causes a
		293	higher drift (and a lot more system calls to get the current time).
		294
		295	In another sense, L<EV> is more exact, as your timer will be scheduled at
		296	the same time, regardless of how long event processing actually took.
		297
		298	In either case, if you care (and in most cases, you don't), then you
		299	can get whatever behaviour you want with any event loop, by taking the
		300	difference between C<< AnyEvent->time >> and C<< AnyEvent->now >> into
		301	account.

		373	If you are familiar with some event loops you will know that all of them

		377	AnyEvent is different, it expects somebody else to run the event loop and
		378	will only block when necessary (usually when told by the user).
		379
		380	The instrument to do that is called a "condition variable", so called

343		416
344	This object has two methods:	417	Condition variables are represented by hash refs in perl, and the keys
		418	used by AnyEvent itself are all named C<_ae_XXX> to make subclassing
		419	easy (it is often useful to build your own transaction class on top of
		420	AnyEvent). To subclass, use C<AnyEvent::CondVar> as base class and call
		421	it's C<new> method in your own C<new> method.
		422
		423	There are two "sides" to a condition variable - the "producer side" which
		424	eventually calls C<< -> send >>, and the "consumer side", which waits
		425	for the send to occur.
		426
		427	Example: wait for a timer.
		428
		429	# wait till the result is ready
		430	my $result_ready = AnyEvent->condvar;
		431
		432	# do something such as adding a timer
		433	# or socket watcher the calls $result_ready->send
		434	# when the "result" is ready.
		435	# in this case, we simply use a timer:
		436	my $w = AnyEvent->timer (
		437	after => 1,
		438	cb => sub { $result_ready->send },
		439	);
		440
		441	# this "blocks" (while handling events) till the callback
		442	# calls send
		443	$result_ready->recv;
		444
		445	Example: wait for a timer, but take advantage of the fact that
		446	condition variables are also code references.
		447
		448	my $done = AnyEvent->condvar;
		449	my $delay = AnyEvent->timer (after => 5, cb => $done);
		450	$done->recv;
		451
		452	=head3 METHODS FOR PRODUCERS
		453
		454	These methods should only be used by the producing side, i.e. the
		455	code/module that eventually sends the signal. Note that it is also
		456	the producer side which creates the condvar in most cases, but it isn't
		457	uncommon for the consumer to create it as well.

		461	=item $cv->send (...)
		462
		463	Flag the condition as ready - a running C<< ->recv >> and all further
		464	calls to C<recv> will (eventually) return after this method has been
		465	called. If nobody is waiting the send will be remembered.
		466
		467	If a callback has been set on the condition variable, it is called
		468	immediately from within send.
		469
		470	Any arguments passed to the C<send> call will be returned by all
		471	future C<< ->recv >> calls.
		472
		473	Condition variables are overloaded so one can call them directly
		474	(as a code reference). Calling them directly is the same as calling
		475	C<send>. Note, however, that many C-based event loops do not handle
		476	overloading, so as tempting as it may be, passing a condition variable
		477	instead of a callback does not work. Both the pure perl and EV loops
		478	support overloading, however, as well as all functions that use perl to
		479	invoke a callback (as in L<AnyEvent::Socket> and L<AnyEvent::DNS> for
		480	example).
		481
		482	=item $cv->croak ($error)
		483
		484	Similar to send, but causes all call's to C<< ->recv >> to invoke
		485	C<Carp::croak> with the given error message/object/scalar.

		495
		496	These two methods can be used to combine many transactions/events into
		497	one. For example, a function that pings many hosts in parallel might want
		498	to use a condition variable for the whole process.
		499
		500	Every call to C<< ->begin >> will increment a counter, and every call to
		501	C<< ->end >> will decrement it. If the counter reaches C<0> in C<< ->end
		502	>>, the (last) callback passed to C<begin> will be executed. That callback
		503	is I<supposed> to call C<< ->send >>, but that is not required. If no
		504	callback was set, C<send> will be called without any arguments.
		505
		506	Let's clarify this with the ping example:
		507
		508	my $cv = AnyEvent->condvar;
		509
		510	my %result;
		511	$cv->begin (sub { $cv->send (\%result) });
		512
		513	for my $host (@list_of_hosts) {
		514	$cv->begin;
		515	ping_host_then_call_callback $host, sub {
		516	$result{$host} = ...;
		517	$cv->end;
		518	};
		519	}
		520
		521	$cv->end;
		522
		523	This code fragment supposedly pings a number of hosts and calls
		524	C<send> after results for all then have have been gathered - in any
		525	order. To achieve this, the code issues a call to C<begin> when it starts
		526	each ping request and calls C<end> when it has received some result for
		527	it. Since C<begin> and C<end> only maintain a counter, the order in which
		528	results arrive is not relevant.
		529
		530	There is an additional bracketing call to C<begin> and C<end> outside the
		531	loop, which serves two important purposes: first, it sets the callback
		532	to be called once the counter reaches C<0>, and second, it ensures that
		533	C<send> is called even when C<no> hosts are being pinged (the loop
		534	doesn't execute once).
		535
		536	This is the general pattern when you "fan out" into multiple subrequests:
		537	use an outer C<begin>/C<end> pair to set the callback and ensure C<end>
		538	is called at least once, and then, for each subrequest you start, call
		539	C<begin> and for each subrequest you finish, call C<end>.
