NAME

threads::lite::list - Threaded list utilities

VERSION

Version 0.020

SYNOPSIS

This module implements threads for perl. One crucial difference with normal threads is that the threads are entirely disconnected, except by message queues (channel). It thus facilitates a message passing style of multi-threading.

CLASS METHODS

FUNCTIONS

parallel_map { block } $options, @elements

map a list using multiple threads. $options is a hashref whose keys are like in new.

parallel_grep { block } $options, @elements

grep a list using multiple threads. $options is a hashref whose keys are like in new.

METHODS

A parallel list processing object can be created if you want to reuse your filter with other arguments.

new(%options)

Create a new parallel list processing object. It takes three named arguments.

  • code

    A reference to the piece of code that should be executed, or it's name. Note that if a name is given, it's containing module must be loaded using modules.

  • modules

    Modules that must be loaded be for the mapping or grepping.

  • threads

    The number of threads you want to use to do the mapping. The default is currently 4, an arbitrary number that may change in the future.

map(@elements)

Map elements in a parallel manner.

grep(@elements)

Grep elements in a parallel manner.
