936
937The effect of calling this function is as if a watcher had been created
938(specifically, actions that happen "when the first watcher is created"
939happen when calling detetc as well).

1013
1014Arranges for the block to be executed as soon as possible, but not before
1015the call itself returns. In practise, the block will be executed just
1016before the event loop polls for new events, or shortly afterwards.
1017
1018This function never returns anything (to make the C<return postpone { ...
1019}> idiom more useful.
1020
1021To understand the usefulness of this function, consider a function that
1022asynchronously does something for you and returns some transaction
1023object or guard to let you cancel the operation. For example,
1024C<AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_connect>:
1025
1026 # start a conenction attempt unless one is active
1027 $self->{connect_guard} ||= AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_connect "www.example.net", 80, sub {
1028 delete $self->{connect_guard};
1029 ...
1030 };
1031
1032Imagine that this function could instantly call the callback, for
1033example, because it detects an obvious error such as a negative port
1034number. Invoking the callback before the function returns causes problems
1035however: the callback will be called and will try to delete the guard
1036object. But since the function hasn't returned yet, there is nothing to
1037delete. When the function eventually returns it will assign the guard
1038object to C<< $self->{connect_guard} >>, where it will likely never be
1039deleted, so the program thinks it is still trying to connect.
1040
1041This is where C<AnyEvent::postpone> should be used. Instead of calling the
1042callback directly on error:
1043
1044 $cb->(undef), return # signal error to callback, BAD!
1045 if $some_error_condition;
1046
1047It should use C<postpone>:
1048
1049 AnyEvent::postpone { $cb->(undef) }, return # signal error to callback, later
1050 if $some_error_condition;
1051
1052=item AnyEvent::log $level, $msg[, @args]
1053
1054Log the given C<$msg> at the given C<$level>.
1055
1056If L<AnyEvent::Log> is not loaded then this function makes a simple test
1057to see whether the message will be logged. If the test succeeds it will
1058load AnyEvent::Log and call C<AnyEvent::Log::log> - consequently, look at
1059the L<AnyEvent::Log> documentation for details.
1060
1061If the test fails it will simply return. Right now this happens when a
1062numerical loglevel is used and it is larger than the level specified via
1063C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}>.
1064
1065If you want to sprinkle loads of logging calls around your code, consider
1066creating a logger callback with the C<AnyEvent::Log::logger> function,
1067which can reduce typing, codesize and can reduce the logging overhead
1068enourmously.

1115
1116It features data corruption (but typically only under load) and general
1117confusion. On top, the author is not only clueless about UDP but also
1118fact-resistant - some gems of his understanding: "connect doesn't work
1119with UDP", "UDP packets are not IP packets", "UDP only has datagrams, not
1120packets", "I don't need to implement proper error checking as UDP doesn't
1121support error checking" and so on - he doesn't even understand what's

1817=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 2032=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
1818 2033
1819The following environment variables are used by this module or its 2034AnyEvent supports a number of environment variables that tune the
1820submodules. 2035runtime behaviour. They are usually evaluated when AnyEvent is
2036loaded, initialised, or a submodule that uses them is loaded. Many of
2037them also cause AnyEvent to load additional modules - for example,
2038C<PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP> causes the L<AnyEvent::Debug> module to be
2039loaded.
1821 2040
1822Note that AnyEvent will remove I<all> environment variables starting with 2041All the environment variables documented here start with
1823C<PERL_ANYEVENT_> from C<%ENV> when it is loaded while taint mode is 2042C<PERL_ANYEVENT_>, which is what AnyEvent considers its own
1824enabled. 2043namespace. Other modules are encouraged (but by no means required) to use
2044C<PERL_ANYEVENT_SUBMODULE> if they have registered the AnyEvent::Submodule
2045namespace on CPAN, for any submodule. For example, L<AnyEvent::HTTP> could
2046be expected to use C<PERL_ANYEVENT_HTTP_PROXY> (it should not access env
2047variables starting with C<AE_>, see below).
2048
2049All variables can also be set via the C<AE_> prefix, that is, instead
2050of setting C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> you can also set C<AE_VERBOSE>. In
2051case there is a clash btween anyevent and another program that uses
2052C<AE_something> you can set the corresponding C<PERL_ANYEVENT_something>
2053variable to the empty string, as those variables take precedence.
2054
2055When AnyEvent is first loaded, it copies all C<AE_xxx> env variables
2056to their C<PERL_ANYEVENT_xxx> counterpart unless that variable already
2057exists. If taint mode is on, then AnyEvent will remove I<all> environment
2058variables starting with C<PERL_ANYEVENT_> from C<%ENV> (or replace them
2059with C<undef> or the empty string, if the corresaponding C<AE_> variable
2060is set).
2061
2062The exact algorithm is currently:
2063
2064 1. if taint mode enabled, delete all PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz variables from %ENV
2065 2. copy over AE_xyz to PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz unless the latter alraedy exists
2066 3. if taint mode enabled, set all PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz variables to undef.
2067
2068This ensures that child processes will not see the C<AE_> variables.
2069
2070The following environment variables are currently known to AnyEvent:
1825 2071
1826=over 4 2072=over 4
1827 2073
1828=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> 2074=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE>
1829 2075
1830By default, AnyEvent will be completely silent except in fatal 2076By default, AnyEvent will only log messages with loglevel C<3>
1831conditions. You can set this environment variable to make AnyEvent more 2077(C<critical>) or higher (see L<AnyEvent::Log>). You can set this
2078environment variable to a numerical loglevel to make AnyEvent more (or
1832talkative. 2079less) talkative.
1833 2080
2081If you want to do more than just set the global logging level
2082you should have a look at C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>, which allows much more
2083complex specifications.
2084
2085When set to C<0> (C<off>), then no messages whatsoever will be logged with
2086the default logging settings.
2087
1834When set to C<1> or higher, causes AnyEvent to warn about unexpected 2088When set to C<5> or higher (C<warn>), causes AnyEvent to warn about

2091exception - this is the minimum recommended level.
1837 2092

1842which optional modules it loads and how it implements certain features. 2097which optional modules it loads and how it implements certain features.
2098
2099=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>
2100
2101Accepts rather complex logging specifications. For example, you could log
2102all C<debug> messages of some module to stderr, warnings and above to
2103stderr, and errors and above to syslog, with:
2104
2105 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=Some::Module=debug,+log:filter=warn,+%syslog:%syslog=error,syslog
2106
2107For the rather extensive details, see L<AnyEvent::Log>.
2108
2109This variable is evaluated when AnyEvent (or L<AnyEvent::Log>) is loaded,
2110so will take effect even before AnyEvent has initialised itself.
2111
2112Note that specifying this environment variable causes the L<AnyEvent::Log>
2113module to be loaded, while C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> does not, so only
2114using the latter saves a few hundred kB of memory until the first message
2115is being logged.

1858 2131
2132=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL>
2133
2134If this env variable is nonempty, then its contents will be interpreted by
2135C<AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport> and C<AnyEvent::Debug::shell> (after
2136replacing every occurance of C<$$> by the process pid). The shell object
2137is saved in C<$AnyEvent::Debug::SHELL>.
2138
2139This happens when the first watcher is created.
2140
2141For example, to bind a debug shell on a unix domain socket in
2142F<< /tmp/debug<pid>.sock >>, you could use this:
2143
2144 PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL=/tmp/debug\$\$.sock perlprog
2145 # connect with e.g.: socat readline /tmp/debug123.sock
2146
2147Or to bind to tcp port 4545 on localhost:
2148
2149 PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL=127.0.0.1:4545 perlprog
2150 # connect with e.g.: telnet localhost 4545
2151
2152Note that creating sockets in F</tmp> or on localhost is very unsafe on
2153multiuser systems.
2154
2155=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP>
2156
2157Can be set to C<0>, C<1> or C<2> and enables wrapping of all watchers for
2158debugging purposes. See C<AnyEvent::Debug::wrap> for details.

1866auto detection and -probing. 2169auto detection and -probing.
1867 2170
1868This functionality might change in future versions. 2171If the string ends with C<::> instead (e.g. C<AnyEvent::Impl::EV::>) then
2172nothing gets prepended and the module name is used as-is (hint: C<::> at
2173the end of a string designates a module name and quotes it appropriately).

2228=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY>
2229
2230Perl has inherently racy signal handling (you can basically choose between
2231losing signals and memory corruption) - pure perl event loops (including
2232C<AnyEvent::Loop>, when C<Async::Interrupt> isn't available) therefore
2233have to poll regularly to avoid losing signals.
2234
2235Some event loops are racy, but don't poll regularly, and some event loops
2236are written in C but are still racy. For those event loops, AnyEvent
2237installs a timer that regularly wakes up the event loop.
2238
2239By default, the interval for this timer is C<10> seconds, but you can
2240override this delay with this environment variable (or by setting
2241the C<$AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY> variable before creating signal
2242watchers).
2243
2244Lower values increase CPU (and energy) usage, higher values can introduce
2245long delays when reaping children or waiting for signals.
2246
2247The L<AnyEvent::Async> module, if available, will be used to avoid this
2248polling (with most event loops).
