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!

Thanks!
