		418	=head3 Safe/Unsafe Signals
		419
		420	Perl signals can be either "safe" (synchronous to opcode handling)
		421	or "unsafe" (asynchronous) - the former might delay signal delivery
		422	indefinitely, the latter might corrupt your memory.
		423
		424	AnyEvent signal handlers are, in addition, synchronous to the event loop,
		425	i.e. they will not interrupt your running perl program but will only be
		426	called as part of the normal event handling (just like timer, I/O etc.
		427	callbacks, too).
		428
		429	=head3 Signal Races, Delays and Workarounds
		430
		431	Many event loops (e.g. Glib, Tk, Qt, IO::Async) do not support
		432	attaching callbacks to signals in a generic way, which is a pity,
		433	as you cannot do race-free signal handling in perl, requiring
		434	C libraries for this. AnyEvent will try to do its best, which
		435	means in some cases, signals will be delayed. The maximum time
		436	a signal might be delayed is 10 seconds by default, but can
		437	be overriden via C<$ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY}> or
		438	C<$AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY> - see the Ö<ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES>
		439	section for details.
		440
		441	All these problems can be avoided by installing the optional
		442	L<Async::Interrupt> module, which works with most event loops. It will not
		443	work with inherently broken event loops such as L<Event> or L<Event::Lib>
		444	(and not with L<POE> currently). For those, you just have to suffer the

612	Let's clarify this with the ping example:	721	You can think of C<< $cv->send >> giving you an OR condition (one call

		723	condition (all C<begin> calls must be C<end>'ed before the condvar sends).
		724
		725	Let's start with a simple example: you have two I/O watchers (for example,
		726	STDOUT and STDERR for a program), and you want to wait for both streams to
		727	close before activating a condvar:
613		728
614	my $cv = AnyEvent->condvar;	729	my $cv = AnyEvent->condvar;

		733	defined sysread $fh1, my $buf, 4096
		734	or $cv->end;
		735	});
		736
		737	$cv->begin; # second watcher
		738	my $w2 = AnyEvent->io (fh => $fh2, cb => sub {
		739	defined sysread $fh2, my $buf, 4096
		740	or $cv->end;
		741	});
		742
		743	$cv->recv;
		744
		745	This works because for every event source (EOF on file handle), there is
		746	one call to C<begin>, so the condvar waits for all calls to C<end> before
		747	sending.
		748
		749	The ping example mentioned above is slightly more complicated, as the

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

		2041	loaded.
1346		2042

		2046	C<PERL_ANYEVENT_SUBMODULE> if they have registered the AnyEvent::Submodule
		2047	namespace on CPAN, for any submodule. For example, L<AnyEvent::HTTP> could
		2048	be expected to use C<PERL_ANYEVENT_HTTP_PROXY> (it should not access env
		2049	variables starting with C<AE_>, see below).
		2050
		2051	All variables can also be set via the C<AE_> prefix, that is, instead
		2052	of setting C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> you can also set C<AE_VERBOSE>. In
		2053	case there is a clash btween anyevent and another program that uses
		2054	C<AE_something> you can set the corresponding C<PERL_ANYEVENT_something>
		2055	variable to the empty string, as those variables take precedence.
		2056
		2057	When AnyEvent is first loaded, it copies all C<AE_xxx> env variables
		2058	to their C<PERL_ANYEVENT_xxx> counterpart unless that variable already
		2059	exists. If taint mode is on, then AnyEvent will remove I<all> environment
		2060	variables starting with C<PERL_ANYEVENT_> from C<%ENV> (or replace them
		2061	with C<undef> or the empty string, if the corresaponding C<AE_> variable
		2062	is set).
		2063
		2064	The exact algorithm is currently:
		2065
		2066	1. if taint mode enabled, delete all PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz variables from %ENV
		2067	2. copy over AE_xyz to PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz unless the latter alraedy exists
		2068	3. if taint mode enabled, set all PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz variables to undef.
		2069
		2070	This ensures that child processes will not see the C<AE_> variables.
		2071
		2072	The following environment variables are currently known to AnyEvent:
1350		2073

		2083	If you want to do more than just set the global logging level

		2100
		2101	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG>
		2102
		2103	Accepts rather complex logging specifications. For example, you could log
		2104	all C<debug> messages of some module to stderr, warnings and above to
		2105	stderr, and errors and above to syslog, with:
		2106

		2108
		2109	For the rather extensive details, see L<AnyEvent::Log>.
		2110
		2111	This variable is evaluated when AnyEvent (or L<AnyEvent::Log>) is loaded,
		2112	so will take effect even before AnyEvent has initialised itself.
		2113
		2114	Note that specifying this environment variable causes the L<AnyEvent::Log>
		2115	module to be loaded, while C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> does not, so only
		2116	using the latter saves a few hundred kB of memory until the first message

		2135
		2136	If this env variable is nonempty, then its contents will be interpreted by
		2137	C<AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport> and C<AnyEvent::Debug::shell> (after
		2138	replacing every occurance of C<$$> by the process pid). The shell object
		2139	is saved in C<$AnyEvent::Debug::SHELL>.
		2140
		2141	This happens when the first watcher is created.
		2142
		2143	For example, to bind a debug shell on a unix domain socket in
		2144	F<< /tmp/debug<pid>.sock >>, you could use this:

		2146	PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL=/tmp/debug\$\$.sock perlprog
		2147	# connect with e.g.: socat readline /tmp/debug123.sock

		2151	PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL=127.0.0.1:4545 perlprog
		2152	# connect with e.g.: telnet localhost 4545

		2154	Note that creating sockets in F</tmp> or on localhost is very unsafe on
		2155	multiuser systems.
		2156
		2157	=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP>

		2237	Some event loops are racy, but don't poll regularly, and some event loops

		2843
		2844	One of AnyEvent's main goals is to be 100% Pure-Perl(tm): only perl (and
		2845	its built-in modules) are required to use it.
		2846
		2847	That does not mean that AnyEvent won't take advantage of some additional
		2848	modules if they are installed.
		2849
		2850	This section explains which additional modules will be used, and how they
		2851	affect AnyEvent's operation.
		2852
		2853	=over 4
		2854
		2855	=item L<Async::Interrupt>
		2856
		2857	This slightly arcane module is used to implement fast signal handling: To
		2858	my knowledge, there is no way to do completely race-free and quick
		2859	signal handling in pure perl. To ensure that signals still get
		2860	delivered, AnyEvent will start an interval timer to wake up perl (and
		2861	catch the signals) with some delay (default is 10 seconds, look for
		2862	C<$AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY>).
		2863
		2864	If this module is available, then it will be used to implement signal
		2865	catching, which means that signals will not be delayed, and the event loop
		2866	will not be interrupted regularly, which is more efficient (and good for
		2867	battery life on laptops).
		2868
		2869	This affects not just the pure-perl event loop, but also other event loops
		2870	that have no signal handling on their own (e.g. Glib, Tk, Qt).
		2871
		2872	Some event loops (POE, Event, Event::Lib) offer signal watchers natively,
		2873	and either employ their own workarounds (POE) or use AnyEvent's workaround
		2874	(using C<$AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY>). Installing L<Async::Interrupt>
		2875	does nothing for those backends.
		2876
		2877	=item L<EV>
		2878
		2879	This module isn't really "optional", as it is simply one of the backend
		2880	event loops that AnyEvent can use. However, it is simply the best event
		2881	loop available in terms of features, speed and stability: It supports
		2882	the AnyEvent API optimally, implements all the watcher types in XS, does
		2883	automatic timer adjustments even when no monotonic clock is available,
		2884	can take avdantage of advanced kernel interfaces such as C<epoll> and
		2885	C<kqueue>, and is the fastest backend I<by far>. You can even embed
		2886	L<Glib>/L<Gtk2> in it (or vice versa, see L<EV::Glib> and L<Glib::EV>).
		2887
		2888	If you only use backends that rely on another event loop (e.g. C<Tk>),
		2889	then this module will do nothing for you.
		2890
		2891	=item L<Guard>
		2892
		2893	The guard module, when used, will be used to implement
		2894	C<AnyEvent::Util::guard>. This speeds up guards considerably (and uses a
		2895	lot less memory), but otherwise doesn't affect guard operation much. It is
		2896	purely used for performance.
		2897
		2898	=item L<JSON> and L<JSON::XS>
		2899
		2900	One of these modules is required when you want to read or write JSON data
		2901	via L<AnyEvent::Handle>. L<JSON> is also written in pure-perl, but can take
		2902	advantage of the ultra-high-speed L<JSON::XS> module when it is installed.
		2903
		2904	=item L<Net::SSLeay>
		2905
		2906	Implementing TLS/SSL in Perl is certainly interesting, but not very
		2907	worthwhile: If this module is installed, then L<AnyEvent::Handle> (with
		2908	the help of L<AnyEvent::TLS>), gains the ability to do TLS/SSL.
		2909
		2910	=item L<Time::HiRes>
		2911
		2912	This module is part of perl since release 5.008. It will be used when the
		2913	chosen event library does not come with a timing source of its own. The
		2914	pure-perl event loop (L<AnyEvent::Loop>) will additionally load it to
		2915	try to use a monotonic clock for timing stability.

		2933	is loaded).
