		385	=head3 Signal Races, Delays and Workarounds
		386
		387	Many event loops (e.g. Glib, Tk, Qt, IO::Async) do not support attaching
		388	callbacks to signals in a generic way, which is a pity, as you cannot do
		389	race-free signal handling in perl. AnyEvent will try to do it's best, but
		390	in some cases, signals will be delayed. The maximum time a signal might
		391	be delayed is specified in C<$AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY> (default: 10
		392	seconds). This variable can be changed only before the first signal
		393	watcher is created, and should be left alone otherwise. Higher values
		394	will cause fewer spurious wake-ups, which is better for power and CPU
		395	saving. All these problems can be avoided by installing the optional
		396	L<Async::Interrupt> module. This will not work with inherently broken
		397	event loops such as L<Event> or L<Event::Lib> (and not with L<POE>
		398	currently, as POE does it's own workaround with one-second latency). With
		399	those, you just have to suffer the delays.

611		643
612	Let's clarify this with the ping example:	644	You can think of C<< $cv->send >> giving you an OR condition (one call
		645	sends), while C<< $cv->begin >> and C<< $cv->end >> giving you an AND
		646	condition (all C<begin> calls must be C<end>'ed before the condvar sends).
		647
		648	Let's start with a simple example: you have two I/O watchers (for example,
		649	STDOUT and STDERR for a program), and you want to wait for both streams to
		650	close before activating a condvar:
		651
		652	my $cv = AnyEvent->condvar;
		653
		654	$cv->begin; # first watcher
		655	my $w1 = AnyEvent->io (fh => $fh1, cb => sub {
		656	defined sysread $fh1, my $buf, 4096
		657	or $cv->end;
		658	});
		659
		660	$cv->begin; # second watcher
		661	my $w2 = AnyEvent->io (fh => $fh2, cb => sub {
		662	defined sysread $fh2, my $buf, 4096
		663	or $cv->end;
		664	});
		665
		666	$cv->recv;
		667
		668	This works because for every event source (EOF on file handle), there is
		669	one call to C<begin>, so the condvar waits for all calls to C<end> before
		670	sending.
		671
		672	The ping example mentioned above is slightly more complicated, as the
		673	there are results to be passwd back, and the number of tasks that are
		674	begung can potentially be zero:

		790	These will be used when they are currently loaded when the first watcher

		792	them. This means that AnyEvent will automatically pick the right backend
		793	when the main program loads an event module before anything starts to

		809
		810	Support for IO::Async can only be partial, as it is too broken and

		812	is the only event loop that needs the loop to be set explicitly, so

		828
		829	B<Prima> is not supported as nobody seems to be using it, but it has a POE
		830	backend, so it can be supported through POE.
		831
		832	AnyEvent knows about both L<Prima> and L<Wx>, however, and will try to

726	AnyEvent::Impl::EV based on EV (an interface to libev, best choice).

729	AnyEvent::Impl::Glib based on Glib, third-best choice.
730	AnyEvent::Impl::Tk based on Tk, very bad choice.
731	AnyEvent::Impl::Qt based on Qt, cannot be autoprobed (see its docs).
732	AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib based on Event::Lib, leaks memory and worse.
733	AnyEvent::Impl::POE based on POE, not generic enough for full support.
734
735	There is no support for WxWidgets, as WxWidgets has no support for
736	watching file handles. However, you can use WxWidgets through the
737	POE Adaptor, as POE has a Wx backend that simply polls 20 times per

739	AnyEvent. Likewise, other POE backends can be used by AnyEvent by using

		2270
		2271	One of AnyEvent's main goals is to be 100% Pure-Perl(tm): only perl (and
		2272	it's built-in modules) are required to use it.
		2273
		2274	That does not mean that AnyEvent won't take advantage of some additional
		2275	modules if they are installed.
		2276
		2277	This section epxlains which additional modules will be used, and how they
		2278	affect AnyEvent's operetion.
		2279
		2280	=over 4
		2281
		2282	=item L<Async::Interrupt>
		2283
		2284	This slightly arcane module is used to implement fast signal handling: To
		2285	my knowledge, there is no way to do completely race-free and quick
		2286	signal handling in pure perl. To ensure that signals still get
		2287	delivered, AnyEvent will start an interval timer to wake up perl (and
		2288	catch the signals) with some delay (default is 10 seconds, look for
		2289	C<$AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY>).
		2290
		2291	If this module is available, then it will be used to implement signal
		2292	catching, which means that signals will not be delayed, and the event loop
		2293	will not be interrupted regularly, which is more efficient (And good for
		2294	battery life on laptops).
		2295
		2296	This affects not just the pure-perl event loop, but also other event loops
		2297	that have no signal handling on their own (e.g. Glib, Tk, Qt).
		2298
		2299	Some event loops (POE, Event, Event::Lib) offer signal watchers natively,
		2300	and either employ their own workarounds (POE) or use AnyEvent's workaround
		2301	(using C<$AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY>). Installing L<Async::Interrupt>
		2302	does nothing for those backends.
		2303
		2304	=item L<EV>
		2305
		2306	This module isn't really "optional", as it is simply one of the backend
		2307	event loops that AnyEvent can use. However, it is simply the best event
		2308	loop available in terms of features, speed and stability: It supports
		2309	the AnyEvent API optimally, implements all the watcher types in XS, does
		2310	automatic timer adjustments even when no monotonic clock is available,
		2311	can take avdantage of advanced kernel interfaces such as C<epoll> and
		2312	C<kqueue>, and is the fastest backend I<by far>. You can even embed
		2313	L<Glib>/L<Gtk2> in it (or vice versa, see L<EV::Glib> and L<Glib::EV>).
		2314
		2315	=item L<Guard>
		2316
		2317	The guard module, when used, will be used to implement
		2318	C<AnyEvent::Util::guard>. This speeds up guards considerably (and uses a
		2319	lot less memory), but otherwise doesn't affect guard operation much. It is
		2320	purely used for performance.
		2321
		2322	=item L<JSON> and L<JSON::XS>
		2323
		2324	This module is required when you want to read or write JSON data via
		2325	L<AnyEvent::Handle>. It is also written in pure-perl, but can take
		2326	advantage of the ultra-high-speed L<JSON::XS> module when it is installed.
		2327
		2328	In fact, L<AnyEvent::Handle> will use L<JSON::XS> by default if it is
		2329	installed.
		2330
		2331	=item L<Net::SSLeay>
		2332
		2333	Implementing TLS/SSL in Perl is certainly interesting, but not very
		2334	worthwhile: If this module is installed, then L<AnyEvent::Handle> (with
		2335	the help of L<AnyEvent::TLS>), gains the ability to do TLS/SSL.
		2336
		2337	=item L<Time::HiRes>
		2338
		2339	This module is part of perl since release 5.008. It will be used when the
		2340	chosen event library does not come with a timing source on it's own. The
		2341	pure-perl event loop (L<AnyEvent::Impl::Perl>) will additionally use it to
		2342	try to use a monotonic clock for timing stability.
