Changes for version 0.03

  • Made sure that once the pool is shut down, calling method "shutdown" again will not do anything. At least not until method "add" is called. This should fix the situation where the pool is specifically shut down, and again shut down when the object is destroyed.
  • Added method "notused" which returns the number of threads that were removed before they got a chance to do anything. Can be used to give you a heuristic of how many threads you actually need for a specific application.
  • Added functionality for streaming results. This allows you to specify a "stream" subroutine that allows you to handle the result of the asynchronously executed "do" subroutines in the order in which the jobs were submitted (rather than in the order in which the results were obtained).
  • Added "remove_me" functionality, which allows a "do" routine to tell its dispatcher that the worker thread should be removed.
  • Added Perl version requirement to README and pod, per suggestion of mrbbking. Added -use threads- to Makefile.PL to cause breakage of the install process if threads are not available.
  • Added specific check for named subroutine reference. The old Thread::Pool module from CPAN also allowed this.
