DESCRIPTION

MooseX::Workers is a Role that provides easy delegation of long-running tasks into a managed child process. Process managment is taken care of via POE and it's POE::Wheel::Run module.

METHODS

spawn ($command) =item fork ($command) =item run_command ($command)
This is the whole point of this module. This will pass $command through to the MooseX::Worker::Engine which will take care of running this asynchronously.
check_worker_threshold
This will check to see how many workers you have compared to the max_workers limit. It returns true if the $num_workers is >= $max_workers;
max_workers($count)
An accessor for the maxium number of workers. This is delegated to the MooseX::Workers::Engine object.
has_workers
Check to see if we have *any* workers currently. This is delegated to the MooseX::Workers::Engine object.
num_workers
Return the current number of workers. This is delegated to the MooseX::Workers::Engine object.
meta
The Metaclass for MooseX::Workers::Engine see Moose's documentation.

INTERFACE

worker_manager_start
Called when the managing session is started
worker_manager_stop
Called when the managing session stops
max_workers_reached
Called when we reach the maximum number of workers
worker_stdout
Called when a child prints to STDOUT
worker_stderr
Called when a child prints to STDERR
worker_error
Called when there is an error condition detected with the child.
worker_done
Called when a worker completes $command
worker_started
