Wow, joost, that's a lot of really great information. My intent was originally to write a library which would work much like Thread::Pool::Simple, so you're absolutely right; I was planning to use multiple workers. I had intended this to be a local-machine-only library, but the possibility of handling off-machine jobs for particularly granular tasks has a lot to recommend it too.
For a local-machine library, I suspect that activemq is probably heavier than necessary. For a grid computing library, it's probably a great solution. I don't think I need quite that much power, but since I do want to release this library, perhaps the flexibilty is worthwhile.

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).
