I have been pointed to a ksh script called qjob that implements a fifo queue. As none of our servers use or have ksh, this presents a bit of a problem as it also leverages a ksh implementation of a counting semaphore which would take ages to rewrite.
I figure this is a job for Perl, but before I embark on the task of hacking something together that can daemonized and accept commands to serialize and execute, I thought I would ask if such a beast existed already. Google didn't yield much but a cpan search shows many fifo modules exist so I suspect (hope) the heavy lifting has been done already!
