So this is the final version of the timer code that works:

...
            my $w_cond = AnyEvent->condvar;
            $w_cond->cb( sub { warn $_[0]->recv } );
            my $w; $w = AnyEvent->timer(
                after => 0,
                interval => 5,
                cb => sub {
                    undef $w if (0);
                    $session->write('5 seconds have passed');
                    $w_cond->send();
                }
            );
...

I changed undef $w; to undef $w if (0);. Now the big question is why does this work, but simply commenting out undef $w; causes the timer to not work? Is there a logical reason here, or is it voodoo? By "voodoo" I mean, code that has to be typed a certain way "just because".
