		1016	Arranges for the block to be executed as soon as possible, but not before
		1017	the call itself returns. In practise, the block will be executed just
		1018	before the event loop polls for new events, or shortly afterwards.
		1019
		1020	This function never returns anything (to make the C<return postpone { ...
		1021	}> idiom more useful.
		1022
		1023	To understand the usefulness of this function, consider a function that
		1024	asynchronously does something for you and returns some transaction
		1025	object or guard to let you cancel the operation. For example,
		1026	C<AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_connect>:
		1027
		1028	# start a conenction attempt unless one is active
		1029	$self->{connect_guard} \|\|= AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_connect "www.example.net", 80, sub {
		1030	delete $self->{connect_guard};
		1031	...
		1032	};
		1033
		1034	Imagine that this function could instantly call the callback, for
		1035	example, because it detects an obvious error such as a negative port
		1036	number. Invoking the callback before the function returns causes problems
		1037	however: the callback will be called and will try to delete the guard
		1038	object. But since the function hasn't returned yet, there is nothing to
		1039	delete. When the function eventually returns it will assign the guard
		1040	object to C<< $self->{connect_guard} >>, where it will likely never be
		1041	deleted, so the program thinks it is still trying to connect.
		1042
		1043	This is where C<AnyEvent::postpone> should be used. Instead of calling the
		1044	callback directly on error:
		1045
		1046	$cb->(undef), return # signal error to callback, BAD!
		1047	if $some_error_condition;
		1048
		1049	It should use C<postpone>:
		1050
		1051	AnyEvent::postpone { $cb->(undef) }, return # signal error to callback, later
		1052	if $some_error_condition;
		1053

		1059	consequently, look at the L<AnyEvent::Log> documentation for details.

		1995	loaded.
1835		1996

		2000	C<PERL_ANYEVENT_SUBMODULE> if they have registered the AnyEvent::Submodule
		2001	namespace on CPAN, for any submodule. For example, L<AnyEvent::HTTP> could
		2002	be expected to use C<PERL_ANYEVENT_HTTP_PROXY> (it should not access env
		2003	variables starting with C<AE_>, see below).
		2004
		2005	All variables can also be set via the C<AE_> prefix, that is, instead
		2006	of setting C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> you can also set C<AE_VERBOSE>. In
		2007	case there is a clash btween anyevent and another program that uses
		2008	C<AE_something> you can set the corresponding C<PERL_ANYEVENT_something>
		2009	variable to the empty string, as those variables take precedence.
		2010
		2011	When AnyEvent is first loaded, it copies all C<AE_xxx> env variables
		2012	to their C<PERL_ANYEVENT_xxx> counterpart unless that variable already
		2013	exists. If taint mode is on, then AnyEvent will remove I<all> environment
		2014	variables starting with C<PERL_ANYEVENT_> from C<%ENV> (or replace them
		2015	with C<undef> or the empty string, if the corresaponding C<AE_> variable
		2016	is set).
		2017
		2018	The exact algorithm is currently:
		2019
		2020	1. if taint mode enabled, delete all PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz variables from %ENV
		2021	2. copy over AE_xyz to PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz unless the latter alraedy exists
		2022	3. if taint mode enabled, set all PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz variables to undef.
		2023
		2024	This ensures that child processes will not see the C<AE_> variables.
