401 | =head3 Signal Races, Delays and Workarounds |
|
|
402 | |
|
|
403 | Many event loops (e.g. Glib, Tk, Qt, IO::Async) do not support attaching |
|
|
404 | callbacks to signals in a generic way, which is a pity, as you cannot |
|
|
405 | do race-free signal handling in perl, requiring C libraries for |
|
|
406 | this. AnyEvent will try to do it's best, which means in some cases, |
|
|
407 | signals will be delayed. The maximum time a signal might be delayed is |
|
|
408 | specified in C<$AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY> (default: 10 seconds). This |
|
|
409 | variable can be changed only before the first signal watcher is created, |
|
|
410 | and should be left alone otherwise. This variable determines how often |
|
|
411 | AnyEvent polls for signals (in case a wake-up was missed). Higher values |
|
|
412 | will cause fewer spurious wake-ups, which is better for power and CPU |
|
|
413 | saving. |
|
|
414 | |
|
|
415 | All these problems can be avoided by installing the optional |
|
|
416 | L<Async::Interrupt> module, which works with most event loops. It will not |
|
|
417 | work with inherently broken event loops such as L<Event> or L<Event::Lib> |
|
|
418 | (and not with L<POE> currently, as POE does it's own workaround with |
|
|
419 | one-second latency). For those, you just have to suffer the delays. |

428 | using C<0> watches for any child process exit, on others this will |
346 | as status change for the child are received. This works by installing a |
429 | croak). The watcher will be triggered only when the child process has |
347 | signal handler for C<SIGCHLD>. The callback will be called with the pid |
430 | finished and an exit status is available, not on any trace events |
348 | and exit status (as returned by waitpid), so unlike other watcher types, |
431 | (stopped/continued). |

|
|
438 | and since it cannot be shared, nothing else should use SIGCHLD or reap |
|
|

|

480 | =head2 IDLE WATCHERS |
|
|
481 | |
|
|
482 | $w = AnyEvent->idle (cb => <callback>); |
|
|
483 | |
|
|
484 | Sometimes there is a need to do something, but it is not so important |
|
|
485 | to do it instantly, but only when there is nothing better to do. This |
|
|
486 | "nothing better to do" is usually defined to be "no other events need |
|
|
487 | attention by the event loop". |
|
|
488 | |
|
|
489 | Idle watchers ideally get invoked when the event loop has nothing |
|
|
490 | better to do, just before it would block the process to wait for new |
|
|
491 | events. Instead of blocking, the idle watcher is invoked. |
|
|
492 | |
|
|
493 | Most event loops unfortunately do not really support idle watchers (only |
|
|
494 | EV, Event and Glib do it in a usable fashion) - for the rest, AnyEvent |
|
|
495 | will simply call the callback "from time to time". |
|
|
496 | |
|
|
497 | Example: read lines from STDIN, but only process them when the |
|
|
498 | program is otherwise idle: |
|
|
499 | |
|
|
500 | my @lines; # read data |
|
|
501 | my $idle_w; |
|
|
502 | my $io_w = AnyEvent->io (fh => \*STDIN, poll => 'r', cb => sub { |
|
|

|
|

|
|
505 | # start an idle watcher, if not already done |
|
|
506 | $idle_w ||= AnyEvent->idle (cb => sub { |
|
|
507 | # handle only one line, when there are lines left |
|
|
508 | if (my $line = shift @lines) { |
|
|
509 | print "handled when idle: $line"; |
|
|
510 | } else { |
|
|
511 | # otherwise disable the idle watcher again |
|
|
512 | undef $idle_w; |

534 | |
674 | |
535 | Let's clarify this with the ping example: |
675 | You can think of C<< $cv->send >> giving you an OR condition (one call |
|
|
676 | sends), while C<< $cv->begin >> and C<< $cv->end >> giving you an AND |
|
|
677 | condition (all C<begin> calls must be C<end>'ed before the condvar sends). |
|
|
678 | |
|
|
679 | Let's start with a simple example: you have two I/O watchers (for example, |
|
|
680 | STDOUT and STDERR for a program), and you want to wait for both streams to |
|
|
681 | close before activating a condvar: |
|
|
682 | |
|
|
683 | my $cv = AnyEvent->condvar; |
|
|
684 | |
|
|
685 | $cv->begin; # first watcher |
|
|
686 | my $w1 = AnyEvent->io (fh => $fh1, cb => sub { |
|
|
687 | defined sysread $fh1, my $buf, 4096 |
|
|
688 | or $cv->end; |
|
|
689 | }); |
|
|
690 | |
|
|
691 | $cv->begin; # second watcher |
|
|
692 | my $w2 = AnyEvent->io (fh => $fh2, cb => sub { |
|
|
693 | defined sysread $fh2, my $buf, 4096 |
|
|
694 | or $cv->end; |
|
|
695 | }); |
|
|
696 | |
|
|
697 | $cv->recv; |
|
|
698 | |
|
|
699 | This works because for every event source (EOF on file handle), there is |
|
|
700 | one call to C<begin>, so the condvar waits for all calls to C<end> before |
|
|
701 | sending. |
|
|
702 | |
|
|
703 | The ping example mentioned above is slightly more complicated, as the |
|
|
704 | there are results to be passwd back, and the number of tasks that are |
|
|
705 | begung can potentially be zero: |
536 | |
706 | |
537 | my $cv = AnyEvent->condvar; |
707 | my $cv = AnyEvent->condvar; |
538 | |
708 | |

602 | Another reason I<never> to C<< ->recv >> in a module is that you cannot |

|
603 | sensibly have two C<< ->recv >>'s in parallel, as that would require |
|

679 | |
902 | |
|
|
903 | The block will be executed I<after> the actual backend has been detected |
|
|
904 | (C<$AnyEvent::MODEL> is set), but I<before> any watchers have been |
|
|
905 | created, so it is possible to e.g. patch C<@AnyEvent::ISA> or do |
|
|
906 | other initialisations - see the sources of L<AnyEvent::Strict> or |
|
|
907 | L<AnyEvent::AIO> to see how this is used. |
|
|
908 | |
|
|
909 | The most common usage is to create some global watchers, without forcing |
|
|
910 | event module detection too early, for example, L<AnyEvent::AIO> creates |
|
|
911 | and installs the global L<IO::AIO> watcher in a C<post_detect> block to |
|
|
912 | avoid autodetecting the event module at load time. |

914 | If called in scalar or list context, then it creates and returns an object |

682 | L<Coro::BDB> for a case where this is useful. |
917 | a case where this is useful. |
|
|
918 | |
|
|
919 | Example: Create a watcher for the IO::AIO module and store it in |
|
|
920 | C<$WATCHER>. Only do so after the event loop is initialised, though. |
|
|
921 | |
|
|
922 | our WATCHER; |
|
|
923 | |
|
|
924 | my $guard = AnyEvent::post_detect { |

|
925 | $WATCHER = AnyEvent->io (fh => IO::AIO::poll_fileno, poll => 'r', cb => \&IO::AIO::poll_cb); |
|
|
926 | }; |
|
|
927 | |
|
|
928 | # the ||= is important in case post_detect immediately runs the block, |
|
|
929 | # as to not clobber the newly-created watcher. assigning both watcher and |
|
|
930 | # post_detect guard to the same variable has the advantage of users being |
|
|
931 | # able to just C<undef $WATCHER> if the watcher causes them grief. |

|
1704 | =head1 ERROR AND EXCEPTION HANDLING |
|
|
1705 | |
|
|
1706 | In general, AnyEvent does not do any error handling - it relies on the |
|
|
1707 | caller to do that if required. The L<AnyEvent::Strict> module (see also |
|
|
1708 | the C<PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT> environment variable, below) provides strict |
|
|
1709 | checking of all AnyEvent methods, however, which is highly useful during |
|
|
1710 | development. |
|
|
1711 | |
|
|
1712 | As for exception handling (i.e. runtime errors and exceptions thrown while |
|
|
1713 | executing a callback), this is not only highly event-loop specific, but |
|
|
1714 | also not in any way wrapped by this module, as this is the job of the main |
|
|
1715 | program. |
|
|
1716 | |
|
|
1717 | The pure perl event loop simply re-throws the exception (usually |
|
|
1718 | within C<< condvar->recv >>), the L<Event> and L<EV> modules call C<< |
|
|
1719 | $Event/EV::DIED->() >>, L<Glib> uses C<< install_exception_handler >> and |
|
|
1720 | so on. |
|
|
1721 | |
|
|
1722 | =head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES |
|
|
1723 | |
|
|
1724 | The following environment variables are used by this module or its |
|
|
1725 | submodules. |
|
|
1726 | |
|
|
1727 | Note that AnyEvent will remove I<all> environment variables starting with |
|
|
1728 | C<PERL_ANYEVENT_> from C<%ENV> when it is loaded while taint mode is |
|
|
1729 | enabled. |
|
|
1730 | |
|
|
1731 | =over 4 |
|
|
1732 | |
|
|
1733 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> |
|
|
1734 | |
|
|
1735 | By default, AnyEvent will be completely silent except in fatal |
|
|
1736 | conditions. You can set this environment variable to make AnyEvent more |
|
|
1737 | talkative. |
|
|
1738 | |
|
|
1739 | When set to C<1> or higher, causes AnyEvent to warn about unexpected |
|
|
1740 | conditions, such as not being able to load the event model specified by |
|
|
1741 | C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>. |
|
|
1742 | |
|
|
1743 | When set to C<2> or higher, cause AnyEvent to report to STDERR which event |
|
|
1744 | model it chooses. |
|
|
1745 | |
|
|
1746 | When set to C<8> or higher, then AnyEvent will report extra information on |
|
|
1747 | which optional modules it loads and how it implements certain features. |
|
|
1748 | |
|
|
1749 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT> |
|
|
1750 | |
|
|
1751 | AnyEvent does not do much argument checking by default, as thorough |
|
|
1752 | argument checking is very costly. Setting this variable to a true value |
|
|
1753 | will cause AnyEvent to load C<AnyEvent::Strict> and then to thoroughly |
|
|
1754 | check the arguments passed to most method calls. If it finds any problems, |
|
|
1755 | it will croak. |
|
|
1756 | |
|
|
1757 | In other words, enables "strict" mode. |
|
|
1758 | |
|
|
1759 | Unlike C<use strict> (or it's modern cousin, C<< use L<common::sense> |
|
|
1760 | >>, it is definitely recommended to keep it off in production. Keeping |
|
|
1761 | C<PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT=1> in your environment while developing programs |
|
|
1762 | can be very useful, however. |
|
|
1763 | |
|
|
1764 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL> |
|
|
1765 | |
|
|
1766 | This can be used to specify the event model to be used by AnyEvent, before |
|
|
1767 | auto detection and -probing kicks in. It must be a string consisting |
|
|
1768 | entirely of ASCII letters. The string C<AnyEvent::Impl::> gets prepended |
|
|
1769 | and the resulting module name is loaded and if the load was successful, |
|
|
1770 | used as event model. If it fails to load AnyEvent will proceed with |
|
|
1771 | auto detection and -probing. |
|
|
1772 | |
|
|
1773 | This functionality might change in future versions. |
|
|
1774 | |
|
|
1775 | For example, to force the pure perl model (L<AnyEvent::Impl::Perl>) you |
|
|
1776 | could start your program like this: |
|
|
1777 | |
|
|
1778 | PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL=Perl perl ... |
|
|
1779 | |
|
|
1780 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS> |
|
|
1781 | |
|
|
1782 | Used by both L<AnyEvent::DNS> and L<AnyEvent::Socket> to determine preferences |
|
|
1783 | for IPv4 or IPv6. The default is unspecified (and might change, or be the result |
|
|
1784 | of auto probing). |
|
|
1785 | |
|
|
1786 | Must be set to a comma-separated list of protocols or address families, |
|
|
1787 | current supported: C<ipv4> and C<ipv6>. Only protocols mentioned will be |
|
|
1788 | used, and preference will be given to protocols mentioned earlier in the |
|
|
1789 | list. |
|
|
1790 | |
|
|
1791 | This variable can effectively be used for denial-of-service attacks |
|
|
1792 | against local programs (e.g. when setuid), although the impact is likely |
|
|
1793 | small, as the program has to handle conenction and other failures anyways. |
|
|
1794 | |
|
|
1795 | Examples: C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv4,ipv6> - prefer IPv4 over IPv6, |
|
|
1796 | but support both and try to use both. C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv4> |
|
|
1797 | - only support IPv4, never try to resolve or contact IPv6 |
|
|
1798 | addresses. C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv6,ipv4> support either IPv4 or |
|
|
1799 | IPv6, but prefer IPv6 over IPv4. |
|
|
1800 | |
|
|
1801 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_EDNS0> |
|
|
1802 | |
|
|
1803 | Used by L<AnyEvent::DNS> to decide whether to use the EDNS0 extension |
|
|
1804 | for DNS. This extension is generally useful to reduce DNS traffic, but |
|
|
1805 | some (broken) firewalls drop such DNS packets, which is why it is off by |
|
|
1806 | default. |
|
|
1807 | |
|
|
1808 | Setting this variable to C<1> will cause L<AnyEvent::DNS> to announce |
|
|
1809 | EDNS0 in its DNS requests. |
|
|
1810 | |
|
|
1811 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_FORKS> |
|
|
1812 | |
|
|
1813 | The maximum number of child processes that C<AnyEvent::Util::fork_call> |
|
|
1814 | will create in parallel. |
|
|
1815 | |
|
|
1816 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS> |
|
|
1817 | |
|
|
1818 | The default value for the C<max_outstanding> parameter for the default DNS |
|
|
1819 | resolver - this is the maximum number of parallel DNS requests that are |
|
|
1820 | sent to the DNS server. |
|
|
1821 | |
|
|
1822 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF> |
|
|
1823 | |
|
|
1824 | The file to use instead of F</etc/resolv.conf> (or OS-specific |
|
|
1825 | configuration) in the default resolver. When set to the empty string, no |
|
|
1826 | default config will be used. |
|
|
1827 | |
|
|
1828 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE>, C<PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH>. |
|
|
1829 | |
|
|
1830 | When neither C<ca_file> nor C<ca_path> was specified during |
|
|
1831 | L<AnyEvent::TLS> context creation, and either of these environment |
|
|
1832 | variables exist, they will be used to specify CA certificate locations |
|
|
1833 | instead of a system-dependent default. |
|
|
1834 | |
|
|
1835 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_AVOID_GUARD> and C<PERL_ANYEVENT_AVOID_ASYNC_INTERRUPT> |
|
|
1836 | |
|
|
1837 | When these are set to C<1>, then the respective modules are not |
|
|
1838 | loaded. Mostly good for testing AnyEvent itself. |

1259 | For example, to force the pure perl model (L<AnyEvent::Impl::Perl>) you |
|
|
1260 | could start your program like this: |
|
|
1261 | |
|
|
1262 | PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL=Perl perl ... |
|
|
1263 | |
|
|
1264 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS> |
|
|
1265 | |
|
|
1266 | Used by both L<AnyEvent::DNS> and L<AnyEvent::Socket> to determine preferences |
|
|
1267 | for IPv4 or IPv6. The default is unspecified (and might change, or be the result |
|
|
1268 | of auto probing). |
|
|
1269 | |
|
|
1270 | Must be set to a comma-separated list of protocols or address families, |
|
|
1271 | current supported: C<ipv4> and C<ipv6>. Only protocols mentioned will be |
|
|
1272 | used, and preference will be given to protocols mentioned earlier in the |
|
|
1273 | list. |
|
|
1274 | |
|
|
1275 | This variable can effectively be used for denial-of-service attacks |
|
|
1276 | against local programs (e.g. when setuid), although the impact is likely |
|
|
1277 | small, as the program has to handle connection errors already- |
|
|
1278 | |
|
|
1279 | Examples: C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv4,ipv6> - prefer IPv4 over IPv6, |
|
|
1280 | but support both and try to use both. C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv4> |
|
|
1281 | - only support IPv4, never try to resolve or contact IPv6 |
|
|
1282 | addresses. C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv6,ipv4> support either IPv4 or |
|
|
1283 | IPv6, but prefer IPv6 over IPv4. |
|
|
1284 | |
|
|
1285 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_EDNS0> |
|
|
1286 | |
|
|
1287 | Used by L<AnyEvent::DNS> to decide whether to use the EDNS0 extension |
|
|
1288 | for DNS. This extension is generally useful to reduce DNS traffic, but |
|
|
1289 | some (broken) firewalls drop such DNS packets, which is why it is off by |
|
|
1290 | default. |
|
|
1291 | |
|
|
1292 | Setting this variable to C<1> will cause L<AnyEvent::DNS> to announce |
|
|
1293 | EDNS0 in its DNS requests. |

2317 | =head2 THE IO::Lambda BENCHMARK |
|
|
2318 | |
|
|
2319 | Recently I was told about the benchmark in the IO::Lambda manpage, which |
|
|
2320 | could be misinterpreted to make AnyEvent look bad. In fact, the benchmark |
|
|
2321 | simply compares IO::Lambda with POE, and IO::Lambda looks better (which |
|
|
2322 | shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody). As such, the benchmark is |
|
|
2323 | fine, and mostly shows that the AnyEvent backend from IO::Lambda isn't |
|
|
2324 | very optimal. But how would AnyEvent compare when used without the extra |
|
|
2325 | baggage? To explore this, I wrote the equivalent benchmark for AnyEvent. |
|
|
2326 | |
|
|
2327 | The benchmark itself creates an echo-server, and then, for 500 times, |
|
|
2328 | connects to the echo server, sends a line, waits for the reply, and then |
|
|
2329 | creates the next connection. This is a rather bad benchmark, as it doesn't |
|
|
2330 | test the efficiency of the framework or much non-blocking I/O, but it is a |
|
|
2331 | benchmark nevertheless. |

2344 | AnyEvent/EV/nb 0.068 sec |
|
|
2345 | +state machine 0.134 sec |
|
|
2346 | |
|
|
2347 | The benchmark is also a bit unfair (my fault): the IO::Lambda/POE |
|
|
2348 | benchmarks actually make blocking connects and use 100% blocking I/O, |
|
|
2349 | defeating the purpose of an event-based solution. All of the newly |
|
|
2350 | written AnyEvent benchmarks use 100% non-blocking connects (using |
|
|
2351 | AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_connect and the asynchronous pure perl DNS |
|
|
2352 | resolver), so AnyEvent is at a disadvantage here, as non-blocking connects |
|
|
2353 | generally require a lot more bookkeeping and event handling than blocking |
|
|
2354 | connects (which involve a single syscall only). |
|
|
2355 | |
|
|
2356 | The last AnyEvent benchmark additionally uses L<AnyEvent::Handle>, which |
|
|
2357 | offers similar expressive power as POE and IO::Lambda, using conventional |
|
|
2358 | Perl syntax. This means that both the echo server and the client are 100% |
|
|
2359 | non-blocking, further placing it at a disadvantage. |
|
|
2360 | |
|
|
2361 | As you can see, the AnyEvent + EV combination even beats the |
|
|
2362 | hand-optimised "raw sockets benchmark", while AnyEvent + its pure perl |
|
|
2363 | backend easily beats IO::Lambda and POE. |
|
|
2364 | |
|
|
2365 | And even the 100% non-blocking version written using the high-level (and |
|
|
2366 | slow :) L<AnyEvent::Handle> abstraction beats both POE and IO::Lambda by a |
|
|
2367 | large margin, even though it does all of DNS, tcp-connect and socket I/O |
|
|
2368 | in a non-blocking way. |
|
|
2369 | |
|
|
2370 | The two AnyEvent benchmarks programs can be found as F<eg/ae0.pl> and |
|
|
2371 | F<eg/ae2.pl> in the AnyEvent distribution, the remaining benchmarks are |
|
|
2372 | part of the IO::lambda distribution and were used without any changes. |

|
|
2379 | =over 4 |
|
|
2380 | |
|
|
2381 | =item SIGCHLD |
|
|
2382 | |
|
|
2383 | A handler for C<SIGCHLD> is installed by AnyEvent's child watcher |
|
|
2384 | emulation for event loops that do not support them natively. Also, some |
|
|
2385 | event loops install a similar handler. |
|
|
2386 | |
|
|
2387 | Additionally, when AnyEvent is loaded and SIGCHLD is set to IGNORE, then |
|
|
2388 | AnyEvent will reset it to default, to avoid losing child exit statuses. |
|
|
2389 | |
|
|
2390 | =item SIGPIPE |
|
|
2391 | |
|
|
2392 | A no-op handler is installed for C<SIGPIPE> when C<$SIG{PIPE}> is C<undef> |
|
|
2393 | when AnyEvent gets loaded. |
|
|
2394 | |
|
|
2395 | The rationale for this is that AnyEvent users usually do not really depend |
|
|
2396 | on SIGPIPE delivery (which is purely an optimisation for shell use, or |
|
|
2397 | badly-written programs), but C<SIGPIPE> can cause spurious and rare |
|
|
2398 | program exits as a lot of people do not expect C<SIGPIPE> when writing to |
|
|
2399 | some random socket. |
|
|
2400 | |
|
|
2401 | The rationale for installing a no-op handler as opposed to ignoring it is |
|
|
2402 | that this way, the handler will be restored to defaults on exec. |
|
|
2403 | |
|
|
2404 | Feel free to install your own handler, or reset it to defaults. |

2416 | =head1 RECOMMENDED/OPTIONAL MODULES |
|
|
2417 | |
|
|
2418 | One of AnyEvent's main goals is to be 100% Pure-Perl(tm): only perl (and |
|
|
2419 | it's built-in modules) are required to use it. |
|
|
2420 | |
|
|
2421 | That does not mean that AnyEvent won't take advantage of some additional |
|
|
2422 | modules if they are installed. |
|
|
2423 | |
|
|
2424 | This section epxlains which additional modules will be used, and how they |
|
|
2425 | affect AnyEvent's operetion. |
|
|
2426 | |
|
|
2427 | =over 4 |
|
|
2428 | |
|
|
2429 | =item L<Async::Interrupt> |
|
|
2430 | |
|
|
2431 | This slightly arcane module is used to implement fast signal handling: To |
|
|
2432 | my knowledge, there is no way to do completely race-free and quick |
|
|
2433 | signal handling in pure perl. To ensure that signals still get |
|
|
2434 | delivered, AnyEvent will start an interval timer to wake up perl (and |
|
|
2435 | catch the signals) with some delay (default is 10 seconds, look for |
|
|
2436 | C<$AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY>). |
|
|
2437 | |
|
|
2438 | If this module is available, then it will be used to implement signal |
|
|
2439 | catching, which means that signals will not be delayed, and the event loop |
|
|
2440 | will not be interrupted regularly, which is more efficient (And good for |
|
|
2441 | battery life on laptops). |
|
|
2442 | |
|
|
2443 | This affects not just the pure-perl event loop, but also other event loops |
|
|
2444 | that have no signal handling on their own (e.g. Glib, Tk, Qt). |
|
|
2445 | |
|
|
2446 | Some event loops (POE, Event, Event::Lib) offer signal watchers natively, |
|
|
2447 | and either employ their own workarounds (POE) or use AnyEvent's workaround |
|
|
2448 | (using C<$AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY>). Installing L<Async::Interrupt> |
|
|
2449 | does nothing for those backends. |
|
|
2450 | |
|
|
2451 | =item L<EV> |
|
|
2452 | |
|
|
2453 | This module isn't really "optional", as it is simply one of the backend |
|
|
2454 | event loops that AnyEvent can use. However, it is simply the best event |
|
|
2455 | loop available in terms of features, speed and stability: It supports |
|
|
2456 | the AnyEvent API optimally, implements all the watcher types in XS, does |
|
|
2457 | automatic timer adjustments even when no monotonic clock is available, |
|
|
2458 | can take avdantage of advanced kernel interfaces such as C<epoll> and |
|
|
2459 | C<kqueue>, and is the fastest backend I<by far>. You can even embed |
|
|
2460 | L<Glib>/L<Gtk2> in it (or vice versa, see L<EV::Glib> and L<Glib::EV>). |
|
|
2461 | |
|
|
2462 | =item L<Guard> |
|
|
2463 | |
|
|
2464 | The guard module, when used, will be used to implement |
|
|
2465 | C<AnyEvent::Util::guard>. This speeds up guards considerably (and uses a |
|
|
2466 | lot less memory), but otherwise doesn't affect guard operation much. It is |
|
|
2467 | purely used for performance. |
|
|
2468 | |
|
|
2469 | =item L<JSON> and L<JSON::XS> |
|
|
2470 | |
|
|
2471 | This module is required when you want to read or write JSON data via |

|
|
2487 | chosen event library does not come with a timing source on it's own. The |

2488 | pure-perl event loop (L<AnyEvent::Impl::Perl>) will additionally use it to |
|
|
2489 | try to use a monotonic clock for timing stability. |
