The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Fork::Queue
DSLI: bmpf
description: limits number of concurrent forked processes
userid: SALVA (Salvador Fandiño García)
chapterid: 20 (Control_Flow_Utilities)
communities:
similar:
Parallel::ForkManager
rationale:
This module enqueue processes so the name should have something to
do with queues, and looking at CPAN it shows that there are several
modules named <something>::Queue (Thread::Queue, VMS::Queue,
MQSeries::Queue, etc.). The queued "objects" are processes, but I
also want to show that the module is constructed around the fork
(and related) function calls so I get with Fork::Queue.
The uniqueness of this module is that it overloads fork, wait,
waitpid, etc, function calls so that you can continue to use them as
usual and the module will take care of not running too much
processes at the same time. And already wrote scripts can be easily
adapted, just including the module at the beginning.
