| Hi Folks.
I've got a question regarding Thread::Pool. Basicaly, I'll be migrating
a rather large user base over one w end. I've so far got everything
sorted out so that I can parse out all the data into flat text files,
and can then start doing the migration.
So, my next worry then is to ensure every user actuallt gets migrated,
and within as short a timespan as possible, of course.
Now, for this I figured I'd use threading, and a pool of threads. Also
means I'm running Perl 5.8.1 on Linux.. ;)
So, my question then, if I hit the maxjobs limit, the doc's just say
that <quote>
The maxjobs method can be called to set the maximum number
of jobs that may be on the belt before job submission will
be halted.
</quote>
Would that then mean any further jobs that may want to end up in the
pool may get lost, or will they sit there and wait until they can be
submitted? A slight difference, which the doc's doesn't quite mention,
and which may have a potentially large impact.
So, anybody present which would have had experience with this? Just want
to know if I need to change my approach or not..
Cheers!
