Bug#776569: ITP: libproc-queue-perl -- Perl module to limit the number of child processes



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Alexander Zangerl <az@debian.org>

* Package name    : libproc-queue-perl
  Version         : 1.23
  Upstream Author : Salvador Fandiño <sfandino@yahoo.com>
* URL             : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Proc-Queue/
* License         : Artistic
  Programming Lang: Pure Perl
  Description     : Perl module to limit the number of child processes

 Proc::Queue lets you parallelise a perl program using the fork, exit, wait
 and waitpid calls as usual but without taking care of creating too many
 processes and overloading the machine.
 .
 It redefines perl fork, exit, wait and waitpid core functions. Old programs
 do not need to be reprogrammed, only the use Proc::Queue ... sentence has to
 be added to them.
