2187At the moment, only C<Perl> (small, pure-perl, synchronous) and
2188C<IOAIO> (truly asynchronous) are supported. The default is C<IOAIO> if
2189L<AnyEvent::AIO> can be loaded, otherwise it is C<Perl>.

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).
