		1012	=item AnyEvent::postpone { BLOCK }
		1013
		1014	Arranges for the block to be executed as soon as possible, but not before
		1015	the call itself returns. In practise, the block will be executed just
		1016	before the event loop polls for new events, or shortly afterwards.
		1017
		1018	This function never returns anything (to make the C<return postpone { ...
		1019	}> idiom more useful.
		1020
		1021	To understand the usefulness of this function, consider a function that
		1022	asynchronously does something for you and returns some transaction
		1023	object or guard to let you cancel the operation. For example,
		1024	C<AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_connect>:
		1025
		1026	# start a conenction attempt unless one is active
		1027	$self->{connect_guard} \|\|= AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_connect "www.example.net", 80, sub {
		1028	delete $self->{connect_guard};
		1029	...
		1030	};
		1031
		1032	Imagine that this function could instantly call the callback, for
		1033	example, because it detects an obvious error such as a negative port
		1034	number. Invoking the callback before the function returns causes problems
		1035	however: the callback will be called and will try to delete the guard
		1036	object. But since the function hasn't returned yet, there is nothing to
		1037	delete. When the function eventually returns it will assign the guard
		1038	object to C<< $self->{connect_guard} >>, where it will likely never be
		1039	deleted, so the program thinks it is still trying to connect.
		1040
		1041	This is where C<AnyEvent::postpone> should be used. Instead of calling the
		1042	callback directly on error:
		1043
		1044	$cb->(undef), return # signal error to callback, BAD!
		1045	if $some_error_condition;
		1046
		1047	It should use C<postpone>:
		1048
		1049	AnyEvent::postpone { $cb->(undef) }, return # signal error to callback, later
		1050	if $some_error_condition;
		1051
		1052	=item AnyEvent::log $level, $msg[, @args]
		1053
		1054	Log the given C<$msg> at the given C<$level>.
		1055
		1056	If L<AnyEvent::Log> is not loaded then this function makes a simple test
		1057	to see whether the message will be logged. If the test succeeds it will
		1058	load AnyEvent::Log and call C<AnyEvent::Log::log> - consequently, look at
		1059	the L<AnyEvent::Log> documentation for details.
		1060
		1061	If the test fails it will simply return. Right now this happens when a
		1062	numerical loglevel is used and it is larger than the level specified via
		1063	C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}>.
		1064
		1065	If you want to sprinkle loads of logging calls around your code, consider
		1066	creating a logger callback with the C<AnyEvent::Log::logger> function,
		1067	which can reduce typing, codesize and can reduce the logging overhead
		1068	enourmously.

1112	As Pauli would put it, "Not only is it not right, it's not even wrong!" -
1113	there are so many things wrong with AnyEvent::Handle::UDP, most notably

1115	the only way to improve it is to delete it.

1117	It features data corruption (but typically only under load) and general
1118	confusion. On top, the author is not only clueless about UDP but also
1119	fact-resistant - some gems of his understanding: "connect doesn't work
1120	with UDP", "UDP packets are not IP packets", "UDP only has datagrams, not
1121	packets", "I don't need to implement proper error checking as UDP doesn't
1122	support error checking" and so on - he doesn't even understand what's
1123	wrong with his module when it is explained to him.

		2041	loaded.

		2046	C<PERL_ANYEVENT_SUBMODULE> if they have registered the AnyEvent::Submodule
		2047	namespace on CPAN, for any submodule. For example, L<AnyEvent::HTTP> could
		2048	be expected to use C<PERL_ANYEVENT_HTTP_PROXY> (it should not access env
		2049	variables starting with C<AE_>, see below).
		2050
		2051	All variables can also be set via the C<AE_> prefix, that is, instead
		2052	of setting C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> you can also set C<AE_VERBOSE>. In
		2053	case there is a clash btween anyevent and another program that uses
		2054	C<AE_something> you can set the corresponding C<PERL_ANYEVENT_something>
		2055	variable to the empty string, as those variables take precedence.
		2056
		2057	When AnyEvent is first loaded, it copies all C<AE_xxx> env variables
		2058	to their C<PERL_ANYEVENT_xxx> counterpart unless that variable already
		2059	exists. If taint mode is on, then AnyEvent will remove I<all> environment
		2060	variables starting with C<PERL_ANYEVENT_> from C<%ENV> (or replace them
		2061	with C<undef> or the empty string, if the corresaponding C<AE_> variable
		2062	is set).
		2063
		2064	The 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
		2070	This ensures that child processes will not see the C<AE_> variables.
		2071
		2072	The following environment variables are currently known to AnyEvent:
1837		2073
1838	=over 4	2074	=over 4

		2080	environment variable to a numerical loglevel to make AnyEvent more (or

		2103	Accepts rather complex logging specifications. For example, you could log
		2104	all C<debug> messages of some module to stderr, warnings and above to

		2108
		2109	For the rather extensive details, see L<AnyEvent::Log>.
		2110
		2111	This variable is evaluated when AnyEvent (or L<AnyEvent::Log>) is loaded,
		2112	so will take effect even before AnyEvent has initialised itself.
		2113
		2114	Note that specifying this environment variable causes the L<AnyEvent::Log>
		2115	module to be loaded, while C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> does not, so only

		2135
		2136	If this env variable is nonempty, then its contents will be interpreted by
		2137	C<AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport> and C<AnyEvent::Debug::shell> (after
		2138	replacing every occurance of C<$$> by the process pid). The shell object
		2139	is saved in C<$AnyEvent::Debug::SHELL>.
		2140
		2141	This happens when the first watcher is created.
		2142
		2143	For example, to bind a debug shell on a unix domain socket in
		2144	F<< /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

		2151	PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL=127.0.0.1:4545 perlprog
		2152	# connect with e.g.: telnet localhost 4545
		2153
		2154	Note that creating sockets in F</tmp> or on localhost is very unsafe on
		2155	multiuser systems.
		2156
		2157	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP>
