a similar result can be attained changing the shell wrapper instead of the perl script that runs on the cluster nodes:

#!/usr/bin/bash

cd ~/some_dir
(perl mycode.pl $1 $2 > ~/some_out_dir/param_set$1.out.tmp
  && mv ~/some_out_dir/param_set$1.out)
    || touch ~/some_out_dir/param_set$1.fail
[download]

then, on the master you will have to poll from time to time to see if all the result files exist or if "fail" files are there, to requeue the jobs.

Though, it should be better ways to synchronize partial jobs over the cluster.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
