* Package name : libparallel-runner-perl Version : 0.012 Upstream Author : Chad Granum <exodi...@gmail.com> * URL : https://metacpan.org/release/Fennec * License : Artistic or GPL-1+ Programming Lang: Perl Description : Perl module to manage running things in parallel processes There are several other modules to do this, you probably want one of them. This module exists as a super specialised parallel task manager. You create the object with a proces limit and callbacks for what to do while waiting for a free process slot, as well as a callback for what a process shoudl do just before exiting. You must explicetly call $runner->finish() when you are done. If the runner is destroyed before it's children are finished a warning will be generated and your child processes will be killed, by force if necessary. If you specify a maximum of 1 then no forking will occur, and run() will block until the coderef returns. You can force a fork by providing a boolean true value as the second argument to run(), this will force the runner to fork before running the coderef, however run() will still block until it the child exits. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
