939The effect of calling this function is as if a watcher had been created
940(specifically, actions that happen "when the first watcher is created"
941happen when calling detetc as well).

1056Log the given C<$msg> at the given C<$level>.
1057
1058If L<AnyEvent::Log> is not loaded then this function makes a simple test
1059to see whether the message will be logged. If the test succeeds it will
1060load AnyEvent::Log and call C<AnyEvent::Log::log> - consequently, look at
1061the L<AnyEvent::Log> documentation for details.
1062
1063If the test fails it will simply return.
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.

1149
1150Here be danger!
1151
1152As Pauli would put it, "Not only is it not right, it's not even wrong!" -
1153there are so many things wrong with AnyEvent::Handle::UDP, most notably
1154its use of a stream-based API with a protocol that isn't streamable, that
1155the only way to improve it is to delete it.
1156
1157It features data corruption (but typically only under load) and general
1158confusion. On top, the author is not only clueless about UDP but also
1159fact-resistant - some gems of his understanding: "connect doesn't work
1160with UDP", "UDP packets are not IP packets", "UDP only has datagrams, not
1161packets", "I don't need to implement proper error checking as UDP doesn't
1162support error checking" and so on - he doesn't even understand what's
1163wrong with his module when it is explained to him.

1176 1177
1178=item L<AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify>
1179
1180AnyEvent is good for non-blocking stuff, but it can't detect file or
1181path changes (e.g. "watch this directory for new files", "watch this
1182file for changes"). The L<AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify> module promises to
1183do just that in a portbale fashion, supporting inotify on GNU/Linux and
1184some weird, without doubt broken, stuff on OS X to monitor files. It can
1185fall back to blocking scans at regular intervals transparently on other
1186platforms, so it's about as portable as it gets.

1912=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 2001=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
1913 2002
1914The following environment variables are used by this module or its 2003AnyEvent supports a number of environment variables that tune the
1915submodules. 2004runtime behaviour. They are usually evaluated when AnyEvent is
2005loaded, initialised, or a submodule that uses them is loaded. Many of
2006them also cause AnyEvent to load additional modules - for example,
2007C<PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP> causes the L<AnyEvent::Debug> module to be
2008loaded.
1916 2009
1917Note that AnyEvent will remove I<all> environment variables starting with 2010All the environment variables documented here start with
1918C<PERL_ANYEVENT_> from C<%ENV> when it is loaded while taint mode is 2011C<PERL_ANYEVENT_>, which is what AnyEvent considers its own
1919enabled. 2012namespace. Other modules are encouraged (but by no means required) to use
2013C<PERL_ANYEVENT_SUBMODULE> if they have registered the AnyEvent::Submodule
2014namespace on CPAN, for any submodule. For example, L<AnyEvent::HTTP> could
2015be expected to use C<PERL_ANYEVENT_HTTP_PROXY> (it should not access env
2016variables starting with C<AE_>, see below).
2017
2018All variables can also be set via the C<AE_> prefix, that is, instead
2019of setting C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> you can also set C<AE_VERBOSE>. In
2020case there is a clash btween anyevent and another program that uses
2021C<AE_something> you can set the corresponding C<PERL_ANYEVENT_something>
2022variable to the empty string, as those variables take precedence.
2023
2024When AnyEvent is first loaded, it copies all C<AE_xxx> env variables
2025to their C<PERL_ANYEVENT_xxx> counterpart unless that variable already
2026exists. If taint mode is on, then AnyEvent will remove I<all> environment
2027variables starting with C<PERL_ANYEVENT_> from C<%ENV> (or replace them
2028with C<undef> or the empty string, if the corresaponding C<AE_> variable
2029is set).
2030
2031The exact algorithm is currently:
2032
2033 1. if taint mode enabled, delete all PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz variables from %ENV
2034 2. copy over AE_xyz to PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz unless the latter alraedy exists
2035 3. if taint mode enabled, set all PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz variables to undef.
2036
2037This ensures that child processes will not see the C<AE_> variables.
2038
2039The following environment variables are currently known to AnyEvent:
1920 2040
1921=over 4 2041=over 4
1922 2042
1923=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> 2043=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE>
1924 2044
1925By default, AnyEvent will be completely silent except in fatal 2045By default, AnyEvent will be completely silent except in fatal
1926conditions. You can set this environment variable to make AnyEvent more 2046conditions. You can set this environment variable to make AnyEvent more
1927talkative. 2047talkative. If you want to do more than just set the global logging level
2048you should have a look at C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>, which allows much more
2049complex specifications.
1928 2050
1929When set to C<1> or higher, causes AnyEvent to warn about unexpected 2051When set to C<5> or higher (warn), causes AnyEvent to warn about unexpected
1930conditions, such as not being able to load the event model specified by 2052conditions, such as not being able to load the event model specified by
1931C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>. 2053C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>, or a guard callback throwing an exception - this
2054is the minimum recommended level.
1932 2055

1934model it chooses. 2057chooses.
1935 2058
1936When set to C<8> or higher, then AnyEvent will report extra information on 2059When set to C<8> or higher (debug), then AnyEvent will report extra information on
1937which optional modules it loads and how it implements certain features. 2060which optional modules it loads and how it implements certain features.
2061
2062=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>
2063
2064Accepts rather complex logging specifications. For example, you could log
2065all C<debug> messages of some module to stderr, warnings and above to
2066stderr, and errors and above to syslog, with:
2067
2068 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=Some::Module=debug,+log:filter=warn,+%syslog:%syslog=error,syslog
2069
2070For the rather extensive details, see L<AnyEvent::Log>.
2071
2072This variable is evaluated when AnyEvent (or L<AnyEvent::Log>) is loaded,
2073so will take effect even before AnyEvent has initialised itself.
2074
2075Note that specifying this environment variable causes the L<AnyEvent::Log>
2076module to be loaded, while C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> does not, so only
2077using the latter saves a few hundred kB of memory until the first message
2078is being logged.

1953 2094
2095=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL>
2096
2097If this env variable is set, then its contents will be interpreted by
2098C<AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport> (after replacing every occurance of
2099C<$$> by the process pid) and an C<AnyEvent::Debug::shell> is bound on
2100that port. The shell object is saved in C<$AnyEvent::Debug::SHELL>.
2101
2102This happens when the first watcher is created.
2103
2104For example, to bind a debug shell on a unix domain socket in
2105F<< /tmp/debug<pid>.sock >>, you could use this:
2106
2107 PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL=/tmp/debug\$\$.sock perlprog
2108
2109Note that creating sockets in F</tmp> is very unsafe on multiuser
2110systems.
2111
2112=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP>
2113
2114Can be set to C<0>, C<1> or C<2> and enables wrapping of all watchers for
