365When this is the case, you can call this method, which will update the 365When this is the case, you can call this method, which will update the
366event loop's idea of "current time". 366event loop's idea of "current time".
367 367
368A typical example would be a script in a web server (e.g. C<mod_perl>) -
369when mod_perl executes the script, then the event loop will have the wrong
370idea about the "current time" (being potentially far in the past, when the
371script ran the last time). In that case you should arrange a call to C<<
372AnyEvent->now_update >> each time the web server process wakes up again
373(e.g. at the start of your script, or in a handler).
374
368Note that updating the time I<might> cause some events to be handled. 375Note that updating the time I<might> cause some events to be handled.

408=head3 Restart Behaviour
409
410While restart behaviour is up to the event loop implementation, most will
411not restart syscalls (that includes L<Async::Interrupt> and AnyEvent's
412pure perl implementation).
413
414=head3 Safe/Unsafe Signals
415
416Perl signals can be either "safe" (synchronous to opcode handling) or
417"unsafe" (asynchronous) - the former might get delayed indefinitely, the
418latter might corrupt your memory.
419
420AnyEvent signal handlers are, in addition, synchronous to the event loop,
421i.e. they will not interrupt your running perl program but will only be
422called as part of the normal event handling (just like timer, I/O etc.
423callbacks, too).

486"nothing better to do" is usually defined to be "no other events need
487attention by the event loop".

491events. Instead of blocking, the idle watcher is invoked. 513invoked only when there is "nothing better to do", which is usually
514defined as "all outstanding events have been handled and no new events
515have been detected". That means that idle watchers ideally get invoked
516when the event loop has just polled for new events but none have been
517detected. Instead of blocking to wait for more events, the idle watchers
518will be invoked.

981Example: To load Coro::AnyEvent whenever Coro and AnyEvent are used
982together, you could put this into Coro (this is the actual code used by
983Coro to accomplish this):

985 if (defined $AnyEvent::MODEL) {
986 # AnyEvent already initialised, so load Coro::AnyEvent

2505calls. Only L<EV> is fully fork-aware. 2583- higher performance APIs such as BSD's kqueue or the dreaded Linux epoll
2584are usually badly thought-out hacks that are incompatible with fork in
2585one way or another. Only L<EV> is fully fork-aware and ensures that you
2586continue event-processing in both parent and child (or both, if you know
2587what you are doing).
2588
2589This means that, in general, you cannot fork and do event processing in
2590the child if the event library was initialised before the fork (which
2591usually happens when the first AnyEvent watcher is created, or the library
2592is loaded).

2507If you have to fork, you must either do so I<before> creating your first 2594If you have to fork, you must either do so I<before> creating your first
2508watcher OR you must not use AnyEvent at all in the child OR you must do 2595watcher OR you must not use AnyEvent at all in the child OR you must do
2509something completely out of the scope of AnyEvent. 2596something completely out of the scope of AnyEvent.
2597
2598The problem of doing event processing in the parent I<and> the child
2599is much more complicated: even for backends that I<are> fork-aware or
2600fork-safe, their behaviour is not usually what you want: fork clones all
2601watchers, that means all timers, I/O watchers etc. are active in both
2602parent and child, which is almost never what you want. USing C<exec>
2603to start worker children from some kind of manage rprocess is usually
2604preferred, because it is much easier and cleaner, at the expense of having
2605to have another binary.
