Changes for version 4.03 - 2009-05-19

  • $mgr->ad_hoc will now add jobs into a running schedule. This is intended for cases where one job will, say, examine the filesystem and generate jobs for each file it finds. Because it is not possible [yet] to re-validated a running queue, it is up to the caller to avoid deadlocks in schedules with ad-hoc components. See t/13*t for examples of generating and using the ad_hoc call.
  • Add "prefork" and "postfork" calls. The former is made in the parent process, the latter in the child. These are mainly for cleaning up things like DBI handles to a known state. If the manager object can( thing ) then it will be called.
