939The effect of calling this function is as if a watcher had been created
940(specifically, actions that happen "when the first watcher is created"
941happen when calling detetc as well).

1061If you want to sprinkle loads of logging calls around your code, consider
1062creating a logger callback with the C<AnyEvent::Log::logger> function.

1916=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 1988=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
1917 1989
1918The following environment variables are used by this module or its 1990AnyEvent supports a number of environment variables that tune the
1919submodules. 1991runtime behaviour. They are usually evaluated when AnyEvent is
1992loaded, initialised, or a submodule that uses them is loaded. Many of
1993them also cause AnyEvent to load additional modules - for example,
1994C<PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP> causes the L<AnyEvent::Debug> module to be
1995loaded.
1920 1996
1921Note that AnyEvent will remove I<all> environment variables starting with 1997All the environment variables documented here start with
1922C<PERL_ANYEVENT_> from C<%ENV> when it is loaded while taint mode is 1998C<PERL_ANYEVENT_>, which is what AnyEvent considers its own
1923enabled. 1999namespace. Other modules are encouraged (but by no means required) to use
2000C<PERL_ANYEVENT_SUBMODULE> if they have registered the AnyEvent::Submodule
2001namespace on CPAN, for any submodule. For example, L<AnyEvent::HTTP> could
2002be expected to use C<PERL_ANYEVENT_HTTP_PROXY> (it should not access env
2003variables starting with C<AE_>, see below).
2004
2005All variables can also be set via the C<AE_> prefix, that is, instead
2006of setting C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> you can also set C<AE_VERBOSE>. In
2007case there is a clash btween anyevent and another program that uses
2008C<AE_something> you can set the corresponding C<PERL_ANYEVENT_something>
2009variable to the empty string, as those variables take precedence.
2010
2011When AnyEvent is first loaded, it copies all C<AE_xxx> env variables
2012to their C<PERL_ANYEVENT_xxx> counterpart unless that variable already
2013exists. If taint mode is on, then AnyEvent will remove I<all> environment
2014variables starting with C<PERL_ANYEVENT_> from C<%ENV> (or replace them
2015with C<undef> or the empty string, if the corresaponding C<AE_> variable
2016is set).
2017
2018The 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
2024This ensures that child processes will not see the C<AE_> variables.
2025
2026The following environment variables are currently known to AnyEvent:
1924 2027
1925=over 4 2028=over 4
1926 2029
1927=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> 2030=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE>
1928 2031
1929By default, AnyEvent will be completely silent except in fatal 2032By default, AnyEvent will be completely silent except in fatal
1930conditions. You can set this environment variable to make AnyEvent more 2033conditions. You can set this environment variable to make AnyEvent more
1931talkative. 2034talkative. If you want to do more than just set the global logging level
2035you should have a look at C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>, which allows much more
2036complex specifications.
1932 2037

2050Accepts rather complex logging specifications. For example, you could log
2051all C<debug> messages of some module to stderr, warnings and above to
2052stderr, and errors and above to syslog, with:
2053
2054 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=Some::Module=debug,+log:filter=warn,+%syslog:%syslog=error,syslog
2055
2056For the rather extensive details, see L<AnyEvent::Log>.

2058Note that specifying this environment variable causes the L<AnyEvent::Log>
2059module to be loaded, while C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> does not, so only
