		1020	This function never returns anything (to make the C<return postpone { ...
		1021	}> idiom more useful.
		1022
		1023	To understand the usefulness of this function, consider a function that
		1024	asynchronously does something for you and returns some transaction
		1025	object or guard to let you cancel the operation. For example,
		1026	C<AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_connect>:
		1027
		1028	# start a conenction attempt unless one is active
		1029	$self->{connect_guard} ||= AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_connect "www.example.net", 80, sub {
		1030	delete $self->{connect_guard};
		1031	...
		1032	};
		1033
		1034	Imagine that this function could instantly call the callback, for
		1035	example, because it detects an obvious error such as a negative port
		1036	number. Invoking the callback before the function returns causes problems
		1037	however: the callback will be called and will try to delete the guard
		1038	object. But since the function hasn't returned yet, there is nothing to
		1039	delete. When the function eventually returns it will assign the guard
		1040	object to C<< $self->{connect_guard} >>, where it will likely never be
		1041	deleted, so the program thinks it is still trying to connect.
		1042
		1043	This is where C<AnyEvent::postpone> should be used. Instead of calling the
		1044	callback directly on error:
		1045
		1046	$cb->(undef), return # signal error to callback, BAD!
		1047	if $some_error_condition;
		1048
		1049	It should use C<postpone>:
		1050
		1051	AnyEvent::postpone { $cb->(undef) }, return # signal error to callback, later
		1052	if $some_error_condition;
		1053
		1054	=item AnyEvent::log $level, $msg[, @args]
		1055
		1056	Log the given C<$msg> at the given C<$level>.
		1057
		1058	If L<AnyEvent::Log> is not loaded then this function makes a simple test
		1059	to see whether the message will be logged. If the test succeeds it will
		1060	load AnyEvent::Log and call C<AnyEvent::Log::log> - consequently, look at
		1061	the L<AnyEvent::Log> documentation for details.
		1062
		1063	If the test fails it will simply return. Right now this happens when a
		1064	numerical loglevel is used and it is larger than the level specified via
		1065	C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}>.
		1066
		1067	If you want to sprinkle loads of logging calls around your code, consider
		1068	creating a logger callback with the C<AnyEvent::Log::logger> function,
		1069	which can reduce typing, codesize and can reduce the logging overhead
		1070	enourmously.

		2017	C<PERL_ANYEVENT_SUBMODULE> if they have registered the AnyEvent::Submodule
		2018	namespace on CPAN, for any submodule. For example, L<AnyEvent::HTTP> could
		2019	be expected to use C<PERL_ANYEVENT_HTTP_PROXY> (it should not access env
		2020	variables starting with C<AE_>, see below).
		2021
		2022	All variables can also be set via the C<AE_> prefix, that is, instead
		2023	of setting C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> you can also set C<AE_VERBOSE>. In
		2024	case there is a clash btween anyevent and another program that uses
		2025	C<AE_something> you can set the corresponding C<PERL_ANYEVENT_something>
		2026	variable to the empty string, as those variables take precedence.
		2027
		2028	When AnyEvent is first loaded, it copies all C<AE_xxx> env variables
		2029	to their C<PERL_ANYEVENT_xxx> counterpart unless that variable already
		2030	exists. If taint mode is on, then AnyEvent will remove I<all> environment
		2031	variables starting with C<PERL_ANYEVENT_> from C<%ENV> (or replace them
		2032	with C<undef> or the empty string, if the corresaponding C<AE_> variable
		2033	is set).
		2034
		2035	The exact algorithm is currently:
		2036
		2037	1. if taint mode enabled, delete all PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz variables from %ENV
		2038	2. copy over AE_xyz to PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz unless the latter alraedy exists
		2039	3. if taint mode enabled, set all PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz variables to undef.
		2040
		2041	This ensures that child processes will not see the C<AE_> variables.
		2042
		2043	The following environment variables are currently known to AnyEvent:
1830		2044
1831	=over 4	2045	=over 4

		2051	environment variable to a numerical loglevel to make AnyEvent more (or

1838		2053
		2054	If you want to do more than just set the global logging level
		2055	you should have a look at C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>, which allows much more
		2056	complex specifications.
		2057
		2058	When set to C<0> (C<off>), then no messages whatsoever will be logged with
		2059	the default logging settings.

		2074	Accepts rather complex logging specifications. For example, you could log
		2075	all C<debug> messages of some module to stderr, warnings and above to
		2076	stderr, and errors and above to syslog, with:

		2078	PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=Some::Module=debug,+log:filter=warn,+%syslog:%syslog=error,syslog
		2079
		2080	For the rather extensive details, see L<AnyEvent::Log>.
		2081
		2082	This variable is evaluated when AnyEvent (or L<AnyEvent::Log>) is loaded,
		2083	so will take effect even before AnyEvent has initialised itself.
		2084
		2085	Note that specifying this environment variable causes the L<AnyEvent::Log>
		2086	module to be loaded, while C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> does not, so only
