936
937The effect of calling this function is as if a watcher had been created
938(specifically, actions that happen "when the first watcher is created"
939happen when calling detetc as well).

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

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

1183do just that in a portbale fashion, supporting inotify on GNU/Linux and

1824=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 2035=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
1825 2036
1826The following environment variables are used by this module or its 2037AnyEvent supports a number of environment variables that tune the
1827submodules. 2038runtime behaviour. They are usually evaluated when AnyEvent is
2039loaded, initialised, or a submodule that uses them is loaded. Many of
2040them also cause AnyEvent to load additional modules - for example,
2041C<PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP> causes the L<AnyEvent::Debug> module to be
2042loaded.
1828 2043
1829Note that AnyEvent will remove I<all> environment variables starting with 2044All the environment variables documented here start with
1830C<PERL_ANYEVENT_> from C<%ENV> when it is loaded while taint mode is 2045C<PERL_ANYEVENT_>, which is what AnyEvent considers its own
1831enabled. 2046namespace. Other modules are encouraged (but by no means required) to use
2047C<PERL_ANYEVENT_SUBMODULE> if they have registered the AnyEvent::Submodule
2048namespace on CPAN, for any submodule. For example, L<AnyEvent::HTTP> could
2049be expected to use C<PERL_ANYEVENT_HTTP_PROXY> (it should not access env
2050variables starting with C<AE_>, see below).
2051
2052All variables can also be set via the C<AE_> prefix, that is, instead
2053of setting C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> you can also set C<AE_VERBOSE>. In
2054case there is a clash btween anyevent and another program that uses
2055C<AE_something> you can set the corresponding C<PERL_ANYEVENT_something>
2056variable to the empty string, as those variables take precedence.
2057
2058When AnyEvent is first loaded, it copies all C<AE_xxx> env variables
2059to their C<PERL_ANYEVENT_xxx> counterpart unless that variable already
2060exists. If taint mode is on, then AnyEvent will remove I<all> environment
2061variables starting with C<PERL_ANYEVENT_> from C<%ENV> (or replace them
2062with C<undef> or the empty string, if the corresaponding C<AE_> variable
2063is set).
2064
2065The exact algorithm is currently:
2066
2067 1. if taint mode enabled, delete all PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz variables from %ENV
2068 2. copy over AE_xyz to PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz unless the latter alraedy exists
2069 3. if taint mode enabled, set all PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz variables to undef.
2070
2071This ensures that child processes will not see the C<AE_> variables.
2072
2073The following environment variables are currently known to AnyEvent:
1832 2074
1833=over 4 2075=over 4
1834 2076
1835=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> 2077=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE>
1836 2078
1837By default, AnyEvent will be completely silent except in fatal 2079By default, AnyEvent will log messages with loglevel C<4> (C<error>) or
1838conditions. You can set this environment variable to make AnyEvent more 2080higher (see L<AnyEvent::Log>). You can set this environment variable to a
1839talkative. 2081numerical loglevel to make AnyEvent more (or less) talkative.
1840 2082
2083If you want to do more than just set the global logging level
2084you should have a look at C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>, which allows much more
2085complex specifications.
2086
2087When set to C<0> (C<off>), then no messages whatsoever will be logged with
2088everything else at defaults.
2089
1841When set to C<1> or higher, causes AnyEvent to warn about unexpected 2090When set to C<5> or higher (C<warn>), AnyEvent warns about unexpected
1842conditions, such as not being able to load the event model specified by 2091conditions, such as not being able to load the event model specified by
1843C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>. 2092C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>, or a guard callback throwing an exception - this
2093is the minimum recommended level for use during development.
1844 2094
1845When set to C<2> or higher, cause AnyEvent to report to STDERR which event 2095When set to C<7> or higher (info), AnyEvent reports which event model it
1846model it chooses. 2096chooses.
1847 2097
1848When set to C<8> or higher, then AnyEvent will report extra information on 2098When set to C<8> or higher (debug), then AnyEvent will report extra
1849which optional modules it loads and how it implements certain features. 2099information on which optional modules it loads and how it implements
2100certain features.
2101
2102=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>
2103
2104Accepts rather complex logging specifications. For example, you could log
2105all C<debug> messages of some module to stderr, warnings and above to
2106stderr, and errors and above to syslog, with:
2107
2108 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=Some::Module=debug,+log:filter=warn,+%syslog:%syslog=error,syslog
2109
2110For the rather extensive details, see L<AnyEvent::Log>.
2111
2112This variable is evaluated when AnyEvent (or L<AnyEvent::Log>) is loaded,
2113so will take effect even before AnyEvent has initialised itself.
2114
2115Note that specifying this environment variable causes the L<AnyEvent::Log>
2116module to be loaded, while C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> does not, so only
2117using the latter saves a few hundred kB of memory unless a module
2118explicitly needs the extra features of AnyEvent::Log.

1865 2134
2135=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL>
2136
2137If this env variable is nonempty, then its contents will be interpreted by
2138C<AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport> and C<AnyEvent::Debug::shell> (after
2139replacing every occurance of C<$$> by the process pid). The shell object
2140is saved in C<$AnyEvent::Debug::SHELL>.
2141
2142This happens when the first watcher is created.
2143
2144For example, to bind a debug shell on a unix domain socket in
2145F<< /tmp/debug<pid>.sock >>, you could use this:
2146
2147 PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL=/tmp/debug\$\$.sock perlprog
2148 # connect with e.g.: socat readline /tmp/debug123.sock
2149
2150Or to bind to tcp port 4545 on localhost:
2151
2152 PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL=127.0.0.1:4545 perlprog
2153 # connect with e.g.: telnet localhost 4545
2154
2155Note that creating sockets in F</tmp> or on localhost is very unsafe on
2156multiuser systems.
2157
2158=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP>
2159
2160Can be set to C<0>, C<1> or C<2> and enables wrapping of all watchers for
2161debugging purposes. See C<AnyEvent::Debug::wrap> for details.

1873auto detection and -probing. 2172auto detection and -probing.
1874 2173
1875This functionality might change in future versions. 2174If the string ends with C<::> instead (e.g. C<AnyEvent::Impl::EV::>) then
2175nothing gets prepended and the module name is used as-is (hint: C<::> at
2176the end of a string designates a module name and quotes it appropriately).

2239=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY>
2240
2241Perl has inherently racy signal handling (you can basically choose between
2242losing signals and memory corruption) - pure perl event loops (including
2243C<AnyEvent::Loop>, when C<Async::Interrupt> isn't available) therefore
2244have to poll regularly to avoid losing signals.
2245
2246Some event loops are racy, but don't poll regularly, and some event loops
2247are written in C but are still racy. For those event loops, AnyEvent
2248installs a timer that regularly wakes up the event loop.
2249
2250By default, the interval for this timer is C<10> seconds, but you can
2251override this delay with this environment variable (or by setting
2252the C<$AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY> variable before creating signal
2253watchers).
2254
2255Lower values increase CPU (and energy) usage, higher values can introduce
2256long delays when reaping children or waiting for signals.
2257
2258The L<AnyEvent::Async> module, if available, will be used to avoid this
2259polling (with most event loops).
