VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

    use strict;
    use warnings;
    use IO::AIO;
    use IO::AIO::LoadLimited;

    my @pathnames = ( '/path/to/file', ...);
    my $group = aio_group sub { ... };
    my $limit = 10;
    aio_load_limited @pathnames, sub {
        my ($pathname, $content) = @_;

        warn "could not read $pathname: $!" unless defined $content;
        # whatever is neccessary...
        ...
    }, $group, $limit;

or

    aio_load_limited @pathnames, sub {
        my ($pathname, $content) = @_;

        warn "could not read $pathname: $!" unless defined $content;
        # whatever is neccessary...
        ...
    }, sub {
         # done cb
    };

    IO::AIO::flush; # or use AnyEvent::AIO

EXPORT

IO::AIO::LoadLimited exports aio_load_limited.

SUBROUTINES

aio_load_limited @files, $cb, $group_or_donecb, $limit = 10;

The function aio_load_limited loads a list of files asynchronously where the number of open filehandles used are limited so you don't hit the hard limit of your operating system. The limit is archived using the group and limit functionality of IO::AIO. The callback $cb gets invoked once for each file with the pathname as the first parameter and the content of the file as the second. If the file can not be opened or read the content is undef. The third parameter $group_or_donecb is either another callback that thats called when everthing is done or an IO::AIO::GRP object. The last parameter $limit is optional, its default value is 10.;
