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).
Keyword: dependency ordering, parallel execution

FAQ
What is an Acme::CPANModules::* module?
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.

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull
requests on GitHub.
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.
