Proc-Forkmap

This module provides mapping with built-in forking.

EXAMPLE:

  use Proc::Forkmap qw(forkmap);

  $Proc::Forkmap::MAX_PROC = 4;

  sub foo {
    my $n = shift;
    sleep($n);
    print "slept for $n seconds\n";
  }

  my @x = (1, 2, 3);

  map { foo($_) } @x;  # serial
  forkmap { foo($_) } @x;  # parallel, just like that

  # Or OO interface, if you like that sort of thing

  use Proc::Forkmap;

  sub foo {
    my $x = shift;
    my $t = sprintf("%1.0f", $x + 1);
    sleep $t;
    print "slept $t seconds\n";
  }

  my @x = (rand(), rand(), rand());
  my $p = Proc::Forkmap->new;
  $p->fmap(\&foo, @x);
