374		410
		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).
		427
		428	=head3 Signal Races, Delays and Workarounds
		429
		430	Many event loops (e.g. Glib, Tk, Qt, IO::Async) do not support attaching
		431	callbacks to signals in a generic way, which is a pity, as you cannot
		432	do race-free signal handling in perl, requiring C libraries for
		433	this. AnyEvent will try to do it's best, which means in some cases,
		434	signals will be delayed. The maximum time a signal might be delayed is
		435	specified in C<$AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY> (default: 10 seconds). This
		436	variable can be changed only before the first signal watcher is created,
		437	and should be left alone otherwise. This variable determines how often
		438	AnyEvent polls for signals (in case a wake-up was missed). Higher values
		439	will cause fewer spurious wake-ups, which is better for power and CPU
		440	saving.
		441
		442	All these problems can be avoided by installing the optional
		443	L<Async::Interrupt> module, which works with most event loops. It will not
		444	work with inherently broken event loops such as L<Event> or L<Event::Lib>
		445	(and not with L<POE> currently, as POE does it's own workaround with
		446	one-second latency). For those, you just have to suffer the delays.

		485	As most event loops do not support waiting for child events, they will be

		2507	=head1 RECOMMENDED/OPTIONAL MODULES
		2508
		2509	One of AnyEvent's main goals is to be 100% Pure-Perl(tm): only perl (and
		2510	it's built-in modules) are required to use it.
		2511
		2512	That does not mean that AnyEvent won't take advantage of some additional
		2513	modules if they are installed.
		2514
		2515	This section explains which additional modules will be used, and how they
		2516	affect AnyEvent's operation.
		2517
		2518	=over 4
		2519
		2520	=item L<Async::Interrupt>
		2521
		2522	This slightly arcane module is used to implement fast signal handling: To
		2523	my knowledge, there is no way to do completely race-free and quick
		2524	signal handling in pure perl. To ensure that signals still get
		2525	delivered, AnyEvent will start an interval timer to wake up perl (and
		2526	catch the signals) with some delay (default is 10 seconds, look for
		2527	C<$AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY>).
		2528
		2529	If this module is available, then it will be used to implement signal
		2530	catching, which means that signals will not be delayed, and the event loop
		2531	will not be interrupted regularly, which is more efficient (and good for
		2532	battery life on laptops).
		2533
		2534	This affects not just the pure-perl event loop, but also other event loops
		2535	that have no signal handling on their own (e.g. Glib, Tk, Qt).
		2536
		2537	Some event loops (POE, Event, Event::Lib) offer signal watchers natively,
		2538	and either employ their own workarounds (POE) or use AnyEvent's workaround
		2539	(using C<$AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY>). Installing L<Async::Interrupt>
		2540	does nothing for those backends.
		2541
		2542	=item L<EV>
		2543
		2544	This module isn't really "optional", as it is simply one of the backend
		2545	event loops that AnyEvent can use. However, it is simply the best event
		2546	loop available in terms of features, speed and stability: It supports
		2547	the AnyEvent API optimally, implements all the watcher types in XS, does
		2548	automatic timer adjustments even when no monotonic clock is available,
		2549	can take avdantage of advanced kernel interfaces such as C<epoll> and
		2550	C<kqueue>, and is the fastest backend I<by far>. You can even embed
		2551	L<Glib>/L<Gtk2> in it (or vice versa, see L<EV::Glib> and L<Glib::EV>).
		2552
		2553	If you only use backends that rely on another event loop (e.g. C<Tk>),
		2554	then this module will do nothing for you.
		2555
		2556	=item L<Guard>
		2557
		2558	The guard module, when used, will be used to implement
		2559	C<AnyEvent::Util::guard>. This speeds up guards considerably (and uses a
		2560	lot less memory), but otherwise doesn't affect guard operation much. It is
		2561	purely used for performance.
		2562
		2563	=item L<JSON> and L<JSON::XS>
		2564
		2565	One of these modules is required when you want to read or write JSON data
		2566	via L<AnyEvent::Handle>. L<JSON> is also written in pure-perl, but can take
		2567	advantage of the ultra-high-speed L<JSON::XS> module when it is installed.
		2568
		2569	=item L<Net::SSLeay>
		2570
		2571	Implementing TLS/SSL in Perl is certainly interesting, but not very
		2572	worthwhile: If this module is installed, then L<AnyEvent::Handle> (with
		2573	the help of L<AnyEvent::TLS>), gains the ability to do TLS/SSL.
		2574
		2575	=item L<Time::HiRes>
		2576
		2577	This module is part of perl since release 5.008. It will be used when the
		2578	chosen event library does not come with a timing source on it's own. The
		2579	pure-perl event loop (L<AnyEvent::Impl::Perl>) will additionally use it to
		2580	try to use a monotonic clock for timing stability.

		2608	parent and child, which is almost never what you want. USing C<exec>
		2609	to start worker children from some kind of manage rprocess is usually
