1054Log the given C<$msg> at the given C<$level>.
1055
1056If L<AnyEvent::Log> is not loaded then this function makes a simple test
1057to see whether the message will be logged. If the test succeeds it will
1058load AnyEvent::Log and call C<AnyEvent::Log::log> - consequently, look at
1059the L<AnyEvent::Log> documentation for details.
1060
1061If the test fails it will simply return. Right now this happens when a
1062numerical loglevel is used and it is larger than the level specified via
1063C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}>.
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.

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 2034=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
1913 2035
1914The following environment variables are used by this module or its 2036AnyEvent supports a number of environment variables that tune the
1915submodules. 2037runtime behaviour. They are usually evaluated when AnyEvent is
2038loaded, initialised, or a submodule that uses them is loaded. Many of
2039them also cause AnyEvent to load additional modules - for example,
2040C<PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP> causes the L<AnyEvent::Debug> module to be
2041loaded.
1916 2042
1917Note that AnyEvent will remove I<all> environment variables starting with 2043All the environment variables documented here start with
1918C<PERL_ANYEVENT_> from C<%ENV> when it is loaded while taint mode is 2044C<PERL_ANYEVENT_>, which is what AnyEvent considers its own
1919enabled. 2045namespace. Other modules are encouraged (but by no means required) to use
2046C<PERL_ANYEVENT_SUBMODULE> if they have registered the AnyEvent::Submodule
2047namespace on CPAN, for any submodule. For example, L<AnyEvent::HTTP> could
2048be expected to use C<PERL_ANYEVENT_HTTP_PROXY> (it should not access env
2049variables starting with C<AE_>, see below).
2050
2051All variables can also be set via the C<AE_> prefix, that is, instead
2052of setting C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> you can also set C<AE_VERBOSE>. In
2053case there is a clash btween anyevent and another program that uses
2054C<AE_something> you can set the corresponding C<PERL_ANYEVENT_something>
2055variable to the empty string, as those variables take precedence.
2056
2057When AnyEvent is first loaded, it copies all C<AE_xxx> env variables
2058to their C<PERL_ANYEVENT_xxx> counterpart unless that variable already
2059exists. If taint mode is on, then AnyEvent will remove I<all> environment
2060variables starting with C<PERL_ANYEVENT_> from C<%ENV> (or replace them
2061with C<undef> or the empty string, if the corresaponding C<AE_> variable
2062is set).
2063
2064The exact algorithm is currently:
2065
2066 1. if taint mode enabled, delete all PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz variables from %ENV
2067 2. copy over AE_xyz to PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz unless the latter alraedy exists
2068 3. if taint mode enabled, set all PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz variables to undef.
2069
2070This ensures that child processes will not see the C<AE_> variables.
2071
2072The following environment variables are currently known to AnyEvent:
1920 2073
1921=over 4 2074=over 4
1922 2075
1923=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> 2076=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE>
1924 2077
1925By default, AnyEvent will be completely silent except in fatal 2078By default, AnyEvent will only log messages with loglevel C<3>
1926conditions. You can set this environment variable to make AnyEvent more 2079(C<critical>) or higher (see L<AnyEvent::Log>). You can set this
2080environment variable to a numerical loglevel to make AnyEvent more (or
1927talkative. 2081less) talkative.
1928 2082
2083If you want to do more than just set the global logging level
2084you should have a look at C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>, which allows much more
2085complex specifications.
2086
2087When set to C<0> (C<off>), then no messages whatsoever will be logged with
2088the default logging settings.
2089
1929When set to C<1> or higher, causes AnyEvent to warn about unexpected 2090When set to C<5> or higher (C<warn>), causes AnyEvent to warn about
1930conditions, such as not being able to load the event model specified by 2091unexpected conditions, such as not being able to load the event model
1931C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>. 2092specified by C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>, or a guard callback throwing an
2093exception - this is the minimum recommended level.
1932 2094
1933When set to C<2> or higher, cause AnyEvent to report to STDERR which event 2095When set to C<7> or higher (info), cause AnyEvent to report which event model it
1934model it chooses. 2096chooses.
1935 2097
1936When set to C<8> or higher, then AnyEvent will report extra information on 2098When 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. 2099which optional modules it loads and how it implements certain features.
2100
2101=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>
2102
2103Accepts rather complex logging specifications. For example, you could log
2104all C<debug> messages of some module to stderr, warnings and above to
2105stderr, and errors and above to syslog, with:
2106
2107 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=Some::Module=debug,+log:filter=warn,+%syslog:%syslog=error,syslog
2108
2109For the rather extensive details, see L<AnyEvent::Log>.
2110
2111This variable is evaluated when AnyEvent (or L<AnyEvent::Log>) is loaded,
2112so will take effect even before AnyEvent has initialised itself.
2113
2114Note that specifying this environment variable causes the L<AnyEvent::Log>
2115module to be loaded, while C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> does not, so only
2116using the latter saves a few hundred kB of memory until the first message
2117is being logged.

1953 2133
2134=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL>
2135
2136If this env variable is nonempty, then its contents will be interpreted by
2137C<AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport> and C<AnyEvent::Debug::shell> (after
2138replacing every occurance of C<$$> by the process pid). The shell object
2139is saved in C<$AnyEvent::Debug::SHELL>.
2140
2141This happens when the first watcher is created.
2142
2143For example, to bind a debug shell on a unix domain socket in
2144F<< /tmp/debug<pid>.sock >>, you could use this:
2145
2146 PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL=/tmp/debug\$\$.sock perlprog
2147 # connect with e.g.: socat readline /tmp/debug123.sock
2148
2149Or to bind to tcp port 4545 on localhost:
2150
2151 PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL=127.0.0.1:4545 perlprog
2152 # connect with e.g.: telnet localhost 4545
2153
2154Note that creating sockets in F</tmp> or on localhost is very unsafe on
2155multiuser systems.
2156
2157=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP>
2158
2159Can be set to C<0>, C<1> or C<2> and enables wrapping of all watchers for
2160debugging purposes. See C<AnyEvent::Debug::wrap> for details.

2230=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY>
2231
2232Perl has inherently racy signal handling (you can basically choose between
2233losing signals and memory corruption) - pure perl event loops (including
2234C<AnyEvent::Loop>, when C<Async::Interrupt> isn't available) therefore
2235have to poll regularly to avoid losing signals.
2236
2237Some event loops are racy, but don't poll regularly, and some event loops
2238are written in C but are still racy. For those event loops, AnyEvent
2239installs a timer that regularly wakes up the event loop.
2240
2241By default, the interval for this timer is C<10> seconds, but you can
2242override this delay with this environment variable (or by setting
2243the C<$AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY> variable before creating signal
2244watchers).
2245
2246Lower values increase CPU (and energy) usage, higher values can introduce
2247long delays when reaping children or waiting for signals.
2248
2249The L<AnyEvent::Async> module, if available, will be used to avoid this
2250polling (with most event loops).
