zakzebrowski has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi All, Sanity checking. I have a module which I'm working on. It's currently (tenativly) called Distributed::Run. The motivation for this module is the following: I have this neato-torpedo client program which either I can use to stress test a network or I can use to solve a problem which takes a while to run. Since I know it works correctly on one host, I should be able to distribute the proccesses to many boxes to either facilitate additional stress testing or distribute the load to multiple boxes. The process also (after a certain period of time) always exits. The problem is that the current Parallel:: modules are a little to complex and aren't (from what I can tell) operating system independent, and it was unclear of how to distribute the files in a consistant manner. So, I'm designing a module that will (hopefully) be easy to use, will work across multiple os'es (ssh required), and is nice. So the questions I have...
Thanks... ---- Zak
