NAME Acme::CPANModules::OrderingAndRunningTasks - List of modules/tools to order multiple tasks (with possible interdependency) and running them (possibly in parallel) VERSION This document describes version 0.001 of Acme::CPANModules::OrderingAndRunningTasks (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-OrderingAndRunningTasks), released on 2023-12-20. DESCRIPTION This list reviews what tools are available on CPAN and in general to order multiple tasks (with possible interdependency) and running them (possibly in parallel). To specify dependency, you can use a graph then do a topological sort on it. This will make sure that a task that depends on another is executed after the latter. This will also check circular dependencies: if there is a circular dependency, the graph becomes cyclical and will fail to sort topologically. There are several modules to do topological sorting, among them: Graph, Data::Graph::Util, Sort::Topological. There's also Algorithm::Dependency. To run tasks in parallel, you can also represent the tasks and dependencies among them using a graph, then separate the connected subgraphs. The subgraphs do not connect to one another and thus you can run the tasks in a subgraph in parallel with tasks in another subgraph. These modules can search and return connected subgraphs: Graph ("connected_components" method), Data::Graph::Util ("connected_components" function).

An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list of module names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to categorize modules and document CPAN. See Acme::CPANModules for more details. What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module? Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation, you can install all the listed modules (entries) using cpanm-cpanmodules script (from App::cpanm::cpanmodules distribution): % cpanm-cpanmodules -n OrderingAndRunningTasks Alternatively you can use the cpanmodules CLI (from App::cpanmodules distribution): % cpanmodules ls-entries OrderingAndRunningTasks | cpanm -n or Acme::CM::Get: % perl -MAcme::CM::Get=OrderingAndRunningTasks -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n or directly: % perl -MAcme::CPANModules::OrderingAndRunningTasks -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::OrderingAndRunningTasks::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n This Acme::CPANModules module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful result for "lcpan related-mods" command when it comes to finding related modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module. See App::lcpan::Cmd::related_mods for more details on how "related modules" are found. HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at . SOURCE Source repository is at .

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via: % prove -l If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me. COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2023 by perlancar .
