MCE-Shared 1.809

on Perl CPAN

Fixed bug in MCE::Shared::Queue (dequeue_nb) when queue has zero items.

Applied small optimization in MCE::Shared::Sequence.

Added MCE::Shared::Cache, a fast and memory-efficient LRU-cache module.

Added pipeline methods to MCE::Shared::Array, Hash, Minidb, and Ordhash.

Added recommends section to Makefile and META files: IO::FDPass, Sereal.

Added cross-platform template to MCE::Hobo for making an executable.

Added hobo_timeout option to MCE::Hobo for timeout capability.
Also, imply posix_exit => 1 when Gearman::XS is present.

Added MCE::Hobo + Gearman demonstrations (xs and non-xs) on GitHub:
https://github.com/marioroy/mce-examples/tree/master/gearman_xs
https://github.com/marioroy/mce-examples/tree/master/gearman

Changed kilobytes and megabytes to kibiBytes (KiB) and mebiBytes (MiB)
respectively inside the documentation.

Having IO::FDPass is beneficial for Condvar(s), Handle(s), and Queue(s).
Thus, append IO::FDPass to PREREQ_PM if we can and not already installed.
Run MCE_PREREQ_EXCLUDE_IO_FDPASS=1 perl Makefile.PL to bypass the check.

Improved documentation for QUERY STRING in various helper classes.

Updated SYNOPSIS in various helper classes.

Updated LOCKING section in MCE::Shared.
