Request: add MCE about task-kensho HOT 3 CLOSED

Of late, I have been spending a lot of time back in the world or parallel computing. Historically, I have written directly with forks and hand wrote IPC, used threads and JD's queue and share, tried, rejected and used a many of the fork modules on CPAN and probably tried some other things that I have forgotten. At this moment, I am using Mario Roy's MCE and find it to be extremely valuable!

1. Many of the patterns that I need are supported directly with his modules (i.e. MCE::Loop, MCE::map).
2. MCE::Queue is a great queueing mechanism whether you are using MCE, other parallel processing modules or rolling your own with fork or threads
3. MCE's is much better documented than many of the alternatives. When I do look at his source code, I am probably looking to borrow ideas :) With many of the other alternatives, I'm looking at the source to figure out what it does and I don't mean reading comments in the source, I mean reading the source!
4. Mario is responsive to requests for help and is actively maintaining the distribution in a manner consistent with p5p principles.

I hope this august body will consider creating a section for parallel and will include MCE and other worthy modules!

Cheers

I actually quite like MCE too having used it in the past. I’m in favor
