For those of you who running a Perl script similar to flac2mp3.pl
on a multi core machine, it is an easy task to parallelize your script
and greatly increase processing speed. Note - As flac conversion is a
cpu
intensive task, running a flac job on every core will impair your
computer's response time.
Add the following code in "the appropriate places" to your .pl file.
use Parallel::ForkManager;
# 4 for a quad core machine
my $pm = new Parallel::ForkManager(4);
# this is your main processing loop
while ("still processing flac files") {
$pm->start and next;
# convert a file
$pm->finish;
}
$pm->wait_all_children;
