NAME
    Acme::CPANModules::OrderingAndRunningTasks - List of modules/tools to
    order multiple tasks (with possible interdependency) and running them
    (possibly in parallel)

VERSION
    This document describes version 0.001 of
    Acme::CPANModules::OrderingAndRunningTasks (from Perl distribution
    Acme-CPANModules-OrderingAndRunningTasks), released on 2023-12-20.

DESCRIPTION
    This list reviews what tools are available on CPAN and in general to
    order multiple tasks (with possible interdependency) and running them
    (possibly in parallel).

    To specify dependency, you can use a graph then do a topological sort on
    it. This will make sure that a task that depends on another is executed
    after the latter. This will also check circular dependencies: if there
    is a circular dependency, the graph becomes cyclical and will fail to
    sort topologically. There are several modules to do topological sorting,
    among them: Graph, Data::Graph::Util, Sort::Topological. There's also
    Algorithm::Dependency.

    To run tasks in parallel, you can also represent the tasks and
    dependencies among them using a graph, then separate the connected
    subgraphs. The subgraphs do not connect to one another and thus you can
    run the tasks in a subgraph in parallel with tasks in another subgraph.
    These modules can search and return connected subgraphs: Graph
    ("connected_components" method), Data::Graph::Util
    ("connected_components" function).

    Keyword: dependency ordering, parallel execution

FAQ
  What is an Acme::CPANModules::* module?
    An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list
    of module names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to
    categorize modules and document CPAN. See Acme::CPANModules for more
    details.

  What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module?
    Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation,
    you can install all the listed modules (entries) using cpanm-cpanmodules
    script (from App::cpanm::cpanmodules distribution):

     % cpanm-cpanmodules -n OrderingAndRunningTasks

    Alternatively you can use the cpanmodules CLI (from App::cpanmodules
    distribution):

        % cpanmodules ls-entries OrderingAndRunningTasks | cpanm -n

    or Acme::CM::Get:

        % perl -MAcme::CM::Get=OrderingAndRunningTasks -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n

    or directly:

        % perl -MAcme::CPANModules::OrderingAndRunningTasks -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::OrderingAndRunningTasks::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n

    This Acme::CPANModules module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful
    result for "lcpan related-mods" command when it comes to finding related
    modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module. See
    App::lcpan::Cmd::related_mods for more details on how "related modules"
    are found.
