p5-AnyEvent-Task

Client/server-based asynchronous worker pool

AnyEvent::Task is a pre-fork-on-demand server (AnyEvent::Task::Server) combined with a persistent worker-pooled client (AnyEvent::Task::Client). In a nutshell, a synchronous worker process is forked off by a server whenever a client asks for one. The client keeps as many of these workers around as it wants and delegates tasks to them asynchronously.
