938
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).

1015
1016Arranges for the block to be executed as soon as possible, but not before
1017the call itself returns. In practise, the block will be executed just
1018before the event loop polls for new events, or shortly afterwards.
1019
1020This function never returns anything (to make the C<return postpone { ...
1021}> idiom more useful.
1022
1023To understand the usefulness of this function, consider a function that
1024asynchronously does something for you and returns some transaction
1025object or guard to let you cancel the operation. For example,
1026C<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
1034Imagine that this function could instantly call the callback, for
1035example, because it detects an obvious error such as a negative port
1036number. Invoking the callback before the function returns causes problems
1037however: the callback will be called and will try to delete the guard
1038object. But since the function hasn't returned yet, there is nothing to
1039delete. When the function eventually returns it will assign the guard
1040object to C<< $self->{connect_guard} >>, where it will likely never be
1041deleted, so the program thinks it is still trying to connect.
1042
1043This is where C<AnyEvent::postpone> should be used. Instead of calling the
1044callback directly on error:
1045
1046 $cb->(undef), return # signal error to callback, BAD!
1047 if $some_error_condition;
1048
1049It should use C<postpone>:
1050
1051 AnyEvent::postpone { $cb->(undef) }, return # signal error to callback, later
1052 if $some_error_condition;
1053
1054=item AnyEvent::log $level, $msg[, @args]
1055
1056Log the given C<$msg> at the given C<$level>.
1057
1058If L<AnyEvent::Log> is not loaded then this function makes a simple test
1059to see whether the message will be logged. If the test succeeds it will
1060load AnyEvent::Log and call C<AnyEvent::Log::log> - consequently, look at
1061the L<AnyEvent::Log> documentation for details.
1062
1063If the test fails it will simply return. Right now this happens when a
1064numerical loglevel is used and it is larger than the level specified via
1065C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}>.
1066
1067If you want to sprinkle loads of logging calls around your code, consider
1068creating a logger callback with the C<AnyEvent::Log::logger> function,
1069which can reduce typing, codesize and can reduce the logging overhead
1070enourmously.

1121
1122It features data corruption (but typically only under load) and general
1123confusion. On top, the author is not only clueless about UDP but also
1124fact-resistant - some gems of his understanding: "connect doesn't work
1125with UDP", "UDP packets are not IP packets", "UDP only has datagrams, not
1126packets", "I don't need to implement proper error checking as UDP doesn't
1127support error checking" and so on - he doesn't even understand what's

1185do just that in a portbale fashion, supporting inotify on GNU/Linux and

1831=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 1998=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
1832 1999
1833The following environment variables are used by this module or its 2000AnyEvent supports a number of environment variables that tune the
1834submodules. 2001runtime behaviour. They are usually evaluated when AnyEvent is
2002loaded, initialised, or a submodule that uses them is loaded. Many of
2003them also cause AnyEvent to load additional modules - for example,
2004C<PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP> causes the L<AnyEvent::Debug> module to be
2005loaded.
1835 2006
1836Note that AnyEvent will remove I<all> environment variables starting with 2007All the environment variables documented here start with
1837C<PERL_ANYEVENT_> from C<%ENV> when it is loaded while taint mode is 2008C<PERL_ANYEVENT_>, which is what AnyEvent considers its own
1838enabled. 2009namespace. Other modules are encouraged (but by no means required) to use
2010C<PERL_ANYEVENT_SUBMODULE> if they have registered the AnyEvent::Submodule
2011namespace on CPAN, for any submodule. For example, L<AnyEvent::HTTP> could
2012be expected to use C<PERL_ANYEVENT_HTTP_PROXY> (it should not access env
2013variables starting with C<AE_>, see below).
2014
2015All variables can also be set via the C<AE_> prefix, that is, instead
2016of setting C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> you can also set C<AE_VERBOSE>. In
2017case there is a clash btween anyevent and another program that uses
2018C<AE_something> you can set the corresponding C<PERL_ANYEVENT_something>
2019variable to the empty string, as those variables take precedence.
2020
2021When AnyEvent is first loaded, it copies all C<AE_xxx> env variables
2022to their C<PERL_ANYEVENT_xxx> counterpart unless that variable already
2023exists. If taint mode is on, then AnyEvent will remove I<all> environment
2024variables starting with C<PERL_ANYEVENT_> from C<%ENV> (or replace them
2025with C<undef> or the empty string, if the corresaponding C<AE_> variable
2026is set).
2027
2028The exact algorithm is currently:
2029
2030 1. if taint mode enabled, delete all PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz variables from %ENV
2031 2. copy over AE_xyz to PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz unless the latter alraedy exists
2032 3. if taint mode enabled, set all PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz variables to undef.
2033
2034This ensures that child processes will not see the C<AE_> variables.
2035
2036The following environment variables are currently known to AnyEvent:
1839 2037
1840=over 4 2038=over 4
1841 2039
1842=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> 2040=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE>
1843 2041
1844By default, AnyEvent will be completely silent except in fatal 2042By default, AnyEvent will only log messages with loglevel C<3>
1845conditions. You can set this environment variable to make AnyEvent more 2043(C<critical>) or higher (see L<AnyEvent::Log>). You can set this
2044environment variable to a numerical loglevel to make AnyEvent more (or
1846talkative. 2045less) talkative.
1847 2046
2047If you want to do more than just set the global logging level
2048you should have a look at C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>, which allows much more
2049complex specifications.
2050
2051When set to C<0> (C<off>), then no messages whatsoever will be logged with
2052the default logging settings.
2053
1848When set to C<1> or higher, causes AnyEvent to warn about unexpected 2054When set to C<5> or higher (C<warn>), causes AnyEvent to warn about

1850C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>. 2056specified by C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>, or a guard callback throwing an
2057exception - this is the minimum recommended level.
1851 2058
1852When set to C<2> or higher, cause AnyEvent to report to STDERR which event 2059When set to C<7> or higher (info), cause AnyEvent to report which event model it
1853model it chooses. 2060chooses.
1854 2061
1855When set to C<8> or higher, then AnyEvent will report extra information on 2062When set to C<8> or higher (debug), then AnyEvent will report extra information on
1856which optional modules it loads and how it implements certain features. 2063which optional modules it loads and how it implements certain features.
2064
2065=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>
2066
2067Accepts rather complex logging specifications. For example, you could log
2068all C<debug> messages of some module to stderr, warnings and above to
2069stderr, and errors and above to syslog, with:
2070
2071 PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG=Some::Module=debug,+log:filter=warn,+%syslog:%syslog=error,syslog
2072
2073For the rather extensive details, see L<AnyEvent::Log>.
2074
2075This variable is evaluated when AnyEvent (or L<AnyEvent::Log>) is loaded,
2076so will take effect even before AnyEvent has initialised itself.
2077
2078Note that specifying this environment variable causes the L<AnyEvent::Log>
2079module to be loaded, while C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> does not, so only
2080using the latter saves a few hundred kB of memory until the first message
2081is being logged.

1872 2097
2098=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL>
2099
2100If this env variable is set, then its contents will be interpreted by
2101C<AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport> (after replacing every occurance of
2102C<$$> by the process pid) and an C<AnyEvent::Debug::shell> is bound on
2103that port. The shell object is saved in C<$AnyEvent::Debug::SHELL>.
2104
2105This happens when the first watcher is created.
2106
2107For example, to bind a debug shell on a unix domain socket in
2108F<< /tmp/debug<pid>.sock >>, you could use this:
2109
2110 PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL=/tmp/debug\$\$.sock perlprog
2111
2112Note that creating sockets in F</tmp> is very unsafe on multiuser
2113systems.
2114
2115=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP>
2116
2117Can be set to C<0>, C<1> or C<2> and enables wrapping of all watchers for
2118debugging purposes. See C<AnyEvent::Debug::wrap> for details.

1880auto detection and -probing. 2129auto detection and -probing.
1881 2130
1882This functionality might change in future versions. 2131If the string ends with C<::> instead (e.g. C<AnyEvent::Impl::EV::>) then
2132nothing gets prepended and the module name is used as-is (hint: C<::> at
2133the end of a string designates a module name and quotes it appropriately).
