|
371 | A typical example would be a script in a web server (e.g. C<mod_perl>) - |
|
|
372 | when mod_perl executes the script, then the event loop will have the wrong |
|
|
373 | idea about the "current time" (being potentially far in the past, when the |
|
|
374 | script ran the last time). In that case you should arrange a call to C<< |
|
|
375 | AnyEvent->now_update >> each time the web server process wakes up again |
|
|
376 | (e.g. at the start of your script, or in a handler). |

411 | =head3 Restart Behaviour |
|
|
412 | |
|
|
413 | While restart behaviour is up to the event loop implementation, most will |
|
|
414 | not restart syscalls (that includes L<Async::Interrupt> and AnyEvent's |
|
|
415 | pure perl implementation). |
|
|
416 | |
|
|
417 | =head3 Safe/Unsafe Signals |
|
|
418 | |
|
|
419 | Perl signals can be either "safe" (synchronous to opcode handling) or |
|
|
420 | "unsafe" (asynchronous) - the former might get delayed indefinitely, the |
|
|
421 | latter might corrupt your memory. |
|
|
422 | |
|
|
423 | AnyEvent signal handlers are, in addition, synchronous to the event loop, |
|
|
424 | i.e. they will not interrupt your running perl program but will only be |
|
|
425 | called as part of the normal event handling (just like timer, I/O etc. |
|
|
426 | callbacks, too). |
