NAME

Parallel::Pipes::App - friendly interface for Parallel::Pipes

SYNOPSIS

  use Parallel::Pipes::App;
  my @result = Parallel::Pipes::App->map(
    num => 3,
    work => sub ($task) { $task * 2 },
    tasks => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
  );
  # @result is ( 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 )

DESCRIPTION

Parallel::Pipes::App provides friendly interfaces for Parallel::Pipes.

METHODS

Parallel::Pipes::App provides 2 class method:

map

  my @result = Parallel::Pipes::App->map(
    num => $num,
    work => $work,
    tasks => \@task,
  );

Process @task by $work in $num pre-forked child processes, and get @result. This is almost the same as

  my @result = map { $work->($_) } @task;

except that $work is executed in a child process, not in the current process.

run

  Parallel::Pipes::App->run(
    num => $num,
    work => $work,
    tasks => \@task,
    before_work => $before_work,
    after_work => $after_work,
  );

"run" is a more generic form of "map". In fact, we can write "map" by using "run":

  my @result;
  Parallel::Pipes::App->run(
    num => $num,
    work => $work,
    tasks => \@task,
    before_work => sub (@) {},
    after_work => sub ($item) { push @result, $item },
  );
