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: <pm:Graph>,
<pm:Data::Graph::Util>, <pm:Sort::Topological>. There's also
<pm: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: <pm:Graph> (`connected_components` method),
<pm:Data::Graph::Util> (`connected_components` function).

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

=head1 VERSION

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

=head1 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: L<Graph>,
L<Data::Graph::Util>, L<Sort::Topological>. There's also
L<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: L<Graph> (C<connected_components> method),
L<Data::Graph::Util> (C<connected_components> function).

=head1 FAQ

=head2 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 L<Acme::CPANModules> for more details.

=head2 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 L<cpanm-cpanmodules> script (from
L<App::cpanm::cpanmodules> distribution):

 % cpanm-cpanmodules -n OrderingAndRunningTasks

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

    % cpanmodules ls-entries OrderingAndRunningTasks | cpanm -n

or L<Acme::CM::Get>:
