The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Parallel::MPM::Prefork
DSLIP: Rdpfp
description: A small pre-forking multi-processing module
userid: CGPAN (Carsten Gaebler)
chapterid: 5 (Networking_Devices_IPC)
communities:
similar:
Net::Server::Prefork Parallel::ForkManager
Parallel::Prefork::SpareWorkers
rationale:
It executes tasks in parallel, hence the Parallel namespace. It
behaves like Apache's prefork MPM (but it's not limited to serving
network connections), hence MPM::Prefork.
It combines the coolest features of Net::Server::Prefork and
Parallel::ForkManager while avoiding their (and
Parallel::Prefork::SpareWorkers') worst shortcomings: It's small,
fast, non-OO, easy-care, multi-purpose, fork-friendly,
disk-i/o-free.
Last but not least it happily serves dictionary lookups in the wild
at isizulu.net
BTW, I didn't find any really suitable module list chapter. While
the module does do IPC if asked to it's not network related. Also,
it can be used as a server but you could as well use it for number
crunching.
I put it into 005 because Parallel::ForkManager lives there.
