		427	=head2 IDLE WATCHERS
		428
		429	Sometimes there is a need to do something, but it is not so important
		430	to do it instantly, but only when there is nothing better to do. This
		431	"nothing better to do" is usually defined to be "no other events need
		432	attention by the event loop".
		433
		434	Idle watchers ideally get invoked when the event loop has nothing
		435	better to do, just before it would block the process to wait for new
		436	events. Instead of blocking, the idle watcher is invoked.
		437
		438	Most event loops unfortunately do not really support idle watchers (only
		439	EV, Event and Glib do it in a usable fashion) - for the rest, AnyEvent
		440	will simply call the callback "from time to time".
		441
		442	Example: read lines from STDIN, but only process them when the
		443	program is otherwise idle:
		444
		445	my @lines; # read data
		446	my $idle_w;
		447	my $io_w = AnyEvent->io (fh => \*STDIN, poll => 'r', cb => sub {
		448	push @lines, scalar <STDIN>;
		449
		450	# start an idle watcher, if not already done
		451	$idle_w \|\|= AnyEvent->idle (cb => sub {
		452	# handle only one line, when there are lines left
		453	if (my $line = shift @lines) {
		454	print "handled when idle: $line";
		455	} else {
		456	# otherwise disable the idle watcher again
		457	undef $idle_w;
		458	}

534		613
535	Let's clarify this with the ping example:	614	You can think of C<< $cv->send >> giving you an OR condition (one call
		615	sends), while C<< $cv->begin >> and C<< $cv->end >> giving you an AND
		616	condition (all C<begin> calls must be C<end>'ed before the condvar sends).
		617
		618	Let's start with a simple example: you have two I/O watchers (for example,
		619	STDOUT and STDERR for a program), and you want to wait for both streams to
		620	close before activating a condvar:
		621
		622	my $cv = AnyEvent->condvar;
		623
		624	$cv->begin; # first watcher
		625	my $w1 = AnyEvent->io (fh => $fh1, cb => sub {
		626	defined sysread $fh1, my $buf, 4096
		627	or $cv->end;
		628	});
		629
		630	$cv->begin; # second watcher
		631	my $w2 = AnyEvent->io (fh => $fh2, cb => sub {
		632	defined sysread $fh2, my $buf, 4096
		633	or $cv->end;
		634	});
		635
		636	$cv->recv;
		637
		638	This works because for every event source (EOF on file handle), there is
		639	one call to C<begin>, so the condvar waits for all calls to C<end> before
		640	sending.
		641
		642	The ping example mentioned above is slightly more complicated, as the
		643	there are results to be passwd back, and the number of tasks that are
		644	begung can potentially be zero:

		748
		749	EV is the preferred backend when no other event loop seems to be in

		751	that, will fall back to its own pure-perl implementation, which is

		759
		760	These will be used when they are currently loaded when the first watcher

		762	them. This means that AnyEvent will automatically pick the right backend

		764	create watchers. Nothing special needs to be done by the main program.
		765
		766	AnyEvent::Impl::Glib based on Glib, slow but very stable.
		767	AnyEvent::Impl::Tk based on Tk, very broken.

		798
		799	B<Prima> is not supported as nobody seems to be using it, but it has a POE
		800	backend, so it can be supported through POE.
		801
		802	AnyEvent knows about both L<Prima> and L<Wx>, however, and will try to

		2038	=head2 THE IO::Lambda BENCHMARK
		2039
		2040	Recently I was told about the benchmark in the IO::Lambda manpage, which
		2041	could be misinterpreted to make AnyEvent look bad. In fact, the benchmark
		2042	simply compares IO::Lambda with POE, and IO::Lambda looks better (which
		2043	shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody). As such, the benchmark is
		2044	fine, and mostly shows that the AnyEvent backend from IO::Lambda isn't
		2045	very optimal. But how would AnyEvent compare when used without the extra
		2046	baggage? To explore this, I wrote the equivalent benchmark for AnyEvent.
		2047
		2048	The benchmark itself creates an echo-server, and then, for 500 times,
		2049	connects to the echo server, sends a line, waits for the reply, and then
		2050	creates the next connection. This is a rather bad benchmark, as it doesn't
		2051	test the efficiency of the framework or much non-blocking I/O, but it is a
		2052	benchmark nevertheless.
		2053
		2054	name runtime
		2055	Lambda/select 0.330 sec
		2056	+ optimized 0.122 sec
		2057	Lambda/AnyEvent 0.327 sec

		2064	AnyEvent/select/nb 0.085 sec
		2065	AnyEvent/EV/nb 0.068 sec
		2066	+state machine 0.134 sec
		2067
		2068	The benchmark is also a bit unfair (my fault): the IO::Lambda/POE
		2069	benchmarks actually make blocking connects and use 100% blocking I/O,
		2070	defeating the purpose of an event-based solution. All of the newly
		2071	written AnyEvent benchmarks use 100% non-blocking connects (using
		2072	AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_connect and the asynchronous pure perl DNS
		2073	resolver), so AnyEvent is at a disadvantage here, as non-blocking connects
		2074	generally require a lot more bookkeeping and event handling than blocking
		2075	connects (which involve a single syscall only).
		2076
		2077	The last AnyEvent benchmark additionally uses L<AnyEvent::Handle>, which
		2078	offers similar expressive power as POE and IO::Lambda, using conventional
		2079	Perl syntax. This means that both the echo server and the client are 100%
		2080	non-blocking, further placing it at a disadvantage.
		2081
		2082	As you can see, the AnyEvent + EV combination even beats the
		2083	hand-optimised "raw sockets benchmark", while AnyEvent + its pure perl
		2084	backend easily beats IO::Lambda and POE.
		2085
		2086	And even the 100% non-blocking version written using the high-level (and
		2087	slow :) L<AnyEvent::Handle> abstraction beats both POE and IO::Lambda by a
		2088	large margin, even though it does all of DNS, tcp-connect and socket I/O
		2089	in a non-blocking way.
		2090
		2091	The two AnyEvent benchmarks programs can be found as F<eg/ae0.pl> and
		2092	F<eg/ae2.pl> in the AnyEvent distribution, the remaining benchmarks are
		2093	part of the IO::lambda distribution and were used without any changes.
		2094
		2095
		2096	=head1 SIGNALS
		2097
		2098	AnyEvent currently installs handlers for these signals:
		2099
		2100	=over 4
		2101
		2102	=item SIGCHLD
		2103
		2104	A handler for C<SIGCHLD> is installed by AnyEvent's child watcher
		2105	emulation for event loops that do not support them natively. Also, some
		2106	event loops install a similar handler.
		2107
		2108	Additionally, when AnyEvent is loaded and SIGCHLD is set to IGNORE, then
		2109	AnyEvent will reset it to default, to avoid losing child exit statuses.
		2110
		2111	=item SIGPIPE
		2112
		2113	A no-op handler is installed for C<SIGPIPE> when C<$SIG{PIPE}> is C<undef>
		2114	when AnyEvent gets loaded.
		2115
		2116	The rationale for this is that AnyEvent users usually do not really depend
		2117	on SIGPIPE delivery (which is purely an optimisation for shell use, or
		2118	badly-written programs), but C<SIGPIPE> can cause spurious and rare
		2119	program exits as a lot of people do not expect C<SIGPIPE> when writing to
		2120	some random socket.
		2121
		2122	The rationale for installing a no-op handler as opposed to ignoring it is
		2123	that this way, the handler will be restored to defaults on exec.
		2124
		2125	Feel free to install your own handler, or reset it to defaults.
