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).

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.

1888=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 1993=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
1889 1994
1890The following environment variables are used by this module or its 1995AnyEvent supports a number of environment variables that tune the
1891submodules. 1996runtime behaviour. They are usually evaluated when AnyEvent is
1997loaded, initialised, or a submodule that uses them is loaded. Many of
1998them also cause AnyEvent to load additional modules - for example,
1999C<PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP> causes the L<AnyEvent::Debug> module to be
2000loaded.
1892 2001
1893Note that AnyEvent will remove I<all> environment variables starting with 2002All the environment variables documented here start with
1894C<PERL_ANYEVENT_> from C<%ENV> when it is loaded while taint mode is 2003C<PERL_ANYEVENT_>, which is what AnyEvent considers its own
1895enabled. 2004namespace. Other modules are encouraged (but by no means required) to use
2005C<PERL_ANYEVENT_SUBMODULE> if they have registered the AnyEvent::Submodule
2006namespace on CPAN, for any submodule. For example, L<AnyEvent::HTTP> could
2007be expected to use C<PERL_ANYEVENT_HTTP_PROXY> (it should not access env
2008variables starting with C<AE_>, see below).
2009
2010All variables can also be set via the C<AE_> prefix, that is, instead
2011of setting C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> you can also set C<AE_VERBOSE>. In
2012case there is a clash btween anyevent and another program that uses
2013C<AE_something> you can set the corresponding C<PERL_ANYEVENT_something>
2014variable to the empty string, as those variables take precedence.
2015
2016When AnyEvent is first loaded, it copies all C<AE_xxx> env variables
2017to their C<PERL_ANYEVENT_xxx> counterpart unless that variable already
2018exists. If taint mode is on, then AnyEvent will remove I<all> environment
2019variables starting with C<PERL_ANYEVENT_> from C<%ENV> (or replace them
2020with C<undef> or the empty string, if the corresaponding C<AE_> variable
2021is set).
2022
2023The exact algorithm is currently:
2024
2025 1. if taint mode enabled, delete all PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz variables from %ENV
2026 2. copy over AE_xyz to PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz unless the latter alraedy exists
2027 3. if taint mode enabled, set all PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz variables to undef.
2028
2029This ensures that child processes will not see the C<AE_> variables.
2030
2031The following environment variables are currently known to AnyEvent:
1896 2032
1897=over 4 2033=over 4
1898 2034
1899=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> 2035=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE>
1900 2036
1901By default, AnyEvent will be completely silent except in fatal 2037By default, AnyEvent will be completely silent except in fatal
1902conditions. You can set this environment variable to make AnyEvent more 2038conditions. You can set this environment variable to make AnyEvent more
1903talkative. 2039talkative. If you want to do more than just set the global logging level
2040you should have a look at C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>, which allows much more
2041complex specifications.
1904 2042
1905When set to C<1> or higher, causes AnyEvent to warn about unexpected 2043When set to C<5> or higher (warn), causes AnyEvent to warn about unexpected
1906conditions, such as not being able to load the event model specified by 2044conditions, such as not being able to load the event model specified by
1907C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>. 2045C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>, or a guard callback throwing an exception - this
2046is the minimum recommended level.
1908 2047
1909When set to C<2> or higher, cause AnyEvent to report to STDERR which event 2048When set to C<7> or higher (info), cause AnyEvent to report which event model it
1910model it chooses. 2049chooses.
1911 2050
1912When set to C<8> or higher, then AnyEvent will report extra information on 2051When set to C<8> or higher (debug), then AnyEvent will report extra information on
1913which optional modules it loads and how it implements certain features. 2052which optional modules it loads and how it implements certain features.
2053
2054=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>
2055
2056Accepts rather complex logging specifications. For example, you could log
2057all C<debug> messages of some module to stderr, warnings and above to
2058stderr, and errors and above to syslog, with:
2059
2060 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=Some::Module=debug,+log:filter=warn,+%syslog:%syslog=error,syslog
2061
2062For the rather extensive details, see L<AnyEvent::Log>.
2063
2064This variable is evaluated when AnyEvent (or L<AnyEvent::Log>) is loaded,
2065so will take effect even before AnyEvent has initialised itself.
2066
2067Note that specifying this environment variable causes the L<AnyEvent::Log>
2068module to be loaded, while C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> does not, so only
2069using the latter saves a few hundred kB of memory until the first message
2070is being logged.

1929 2086
2087=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL>
2088
2089If this env variable is set, then its contents will be interpreted by
2090C<AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport> (after replacing every occurance of
2091C<$$> by the process pid) and an C<AnyEvent::Debug::shell> is bound on
2092that port. The shell object is saved in C<$AnyEvent::Debug::SHELL>.
2093
2094This happens when the first watcher is created.
2095
2096For example, to bind a debug shell on a unix domain socket in
2097F<< /tmp/debug<pid>.sock >>, you could use this:
2098
2099 PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL=/tmp/debug\$\$.sock perlprog
2100
2101Note that creating sockets in F</tmp> is very unsafe on multiuser
2102systems.
2103
2104=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP>
2105
2106Can be set to C<0>, C<1> or C<2> and enables wrapping of all watchers for
2107debugging purposes. See C<AnyEvent::Debug::wrap> for details.
2108

1934entirely of ASCII letters. The string C<AnyEvent::Impl::> gets prepended 2113
2114It normally is a string consisting entirely of ASCII letters (e.g. C<EV>
2115or C<IOAsync>). The string C<AnyEvent::Impl::> gets prepended and the
1935and the resulting module name is loaded and if the load was successful, 2116resulting module name is loaded and - if the load was successful - used as
1936used as event model. If it fails to load AnyEvent will proceed with 2117event model backend. If it fails to load then AnyEvent will proceed with
1937auto detection and -probing. 2118auto detection and -probing.
1938 2119
1939This functionality might change in future versions. 2120If the string ends with C<::> instead (e.g. C<AnyEvent::Impl::EV::>) then
2121nothing gets prepended and the module name is used as-is (hint: C<::> at
2122the end of a string designates a module name and quotes it appropriately).
