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. Right now this happens when a
1064numerical loglevel is used and it is larger than the level specified via
1065C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}>.
1066
1067If you want to sprinkle loads of logging calls around your code, consider
1068creating a logger callback with the C<AnyEvent::Log::logger> function,
1069which can reduce typing, codesize and can reduce the logging overhead
1070enourmously.

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 1179
1180=item L<AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify>
1181
1182AnyEvent is good for non-blocking stuff, but it can't detect file or
1183path changes (e.g. "watch this directory for new files", "watch this
1184file for changes"). The L<AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify> module promises to
1185do just that in a portbale fashion, supporting inotify on GNU/Linux and
1186some weird, without doubt broken, stuff on OS X to monitor files. It can
1187fall back to blocking scans at regular intervals transparently on other
1188platforms, so it's about as portable as it gets.

1909=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 2005=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
1910 2006
1911The following environment variables are used by this module or its 2007AnyEvent supports a number of environment variables that tune the
1912submodules. 2008runtime behaviour. They are usually evaluated when AnyEvent is
2009loaded, initialised, or a submodule that uses them is loaded. Many of
2010them also cause AnyEvent to load additional modules - for example,
2011C<PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP> causes the L<AnyEvent::Debug> module to be
2012loaded.
1913 2013
1914Note that AnyEvent will remove I<all> environment variables starting with 2014All the environment variables documented here start with
1915C<PERL_ANYEVENT_> from C<%ENV> when it is loaded while taint mode is 2015C<PERL_ANYEVENT_>, which is what AnyEvent considers its own
1916enabled. 2016namespace. Other modules are encouraged (but by no means required) to use
2017C<PERL_ANYEVENT_SUBMODULE> if they have registered the AnyEvent::Submodule
2018namespace on CPAN, for any submodule. For example, L<AnyEvent::HTTP> could
2019be expected to use C<PERL_ANYEVENT_HTTP_PROXY> (it should not access env
2020variables starting with C<AE_>, see below).
2021
2022All variables can also be set via the C<AE_> prefix, that is, instead
2023of setting C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> you can also set C<AE_VERBOSE>. In
2024case there is a clash btween anyevent and another program that uses
2025C<AE_something> you can set the corresponding C<PERL_ANYEVENT_something>
2026variable to the empty string, as those variables take precedence.
2027
2028When AnyEvent is first loaded, it copies all C<AE_xxx> env variables
2029to their C<PERL_ANYEVENT_xxx> counterpart unless that variable already
2030exists. If taint mode is on, then AnyEvent will remove I<all> environment
2031variables starting with C<PERL_ANYEVENT_> from C<%ENV> (or replace them
2032with C<undef> or the empty string, if the corresaponding C<AE_> variable
2033is set).
2034
2035The 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
2041This ensures that child processes will not see the C<AE_> variables.
2042
2043The following environment variables are currently known to AnyEvent:
1917 2044
1918=over 4 2045=over 4
1919 2046
1920=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> 2047=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE>
1921 2048
1922By default, AnyEvent will be completely silent except in fatal 2049By default, AnyEvent will only log messages with loglevel C<3>
1923conditions. You can set this environment variable to make AnyEvent more 2050(C<critical>) or higher (see L<AnyEvent::Log>). You can set this
2051environment variable to a numerical loglevel to make AnyEvent more (or
1924talkative. 2052less) talkative.
1925 2053
2054If you want to do more than just set the global logging level
2055you should have a look at C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>, which allows much more
2056complex specifications.
2057
2058When set to C<0> (C<off>), then no messages whatsoever will be logged with
2059the default logging settings.
2060
1926When set to C<1> or higher, causes AnyEvent to warn about unexpected 2061When set to C<5> or higher (C<warn>), causes AnyEvent to warn about
1927conditions, such as not being able to load the event model specified by 2062unexpected conditions, such as not being able to load the event model
1928C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>. 2063specified by C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>, or a guard callback throwing an
2064exception - this is the minimum recommended level.
1929 2065
1930When set to C<2> or higher, cause AnyEvent to report to STDERR which event 2066When set to C<7> or higher (info), cause AnyEvent to report which event model it
1931model it chooses. 2067chooses.
1932 2068
1933When set to C<8> or higher, then AnyEvent will report extra information on 2069When set to C<8> or higher (debug), then AnyEvent will report extra information on
1934which optional modules it loads and how it implements certain features. 2070which optional modules it loads and how it implements certain features.
2071
2072=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>
2073
2074Accepts rather complex logging specifications. For example, you could log
2075all C<debug> messages of some module to stderr, warnings and above to
2076stderr, and errors and above to syslog, with:
2077
2078 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=Some::Module=debug,+log:filter=warn,+%syslog:%syslog=error,syslog
2079
2080For the rather extensive details, see L<AnyEvent::Log>.
2081
2082This variable is evaluated when AnyEvent (or L<AnyEvent::Log>) is loaded,
2083so will take effect even before AnyEvent has initialised itself.
2084
2085Note that specifying this environment variable causes the L<AnyEvent::Log>
2086module to be loaded, while C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> does not, so only
2087using the latter saves a few hundred kB of memory until the first message
2088is being logged.
1935 2089
1936=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT> 2090=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT>

1950 2104
2105=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL>
2106
2107If this env variable is set, then its contents will be interpreted by
2108C<AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport> (after replacing every occurance of
2109C<$$> by the process pid) and an C<AnyEvent::Debug::shell> is bound on
2110that port. The shell object is saved in C<$AnyEvent::Debug::SHELL>.
2111
2112This happens when the first watcher is created.
2113
2114For example, to bind a debug shell on a unix domain socket in
2115F<< /tmp/debug<pid>.sock >>, you could use this:
2116
2117 PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL=/tmp/debug\$\$.sock perlprog
2118
2119Note that creating sockets in F</tmp> is very unsafe on multiuser
2120systems.
2121
2122=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP>
2123
2124Can be set to C<0>, C<1> or C<2> and enables wrapping of all watchers for
2125debugging purposes. See C<AnyEvent::Debug::wrap> for details.
