"Parallel::Prefork::SpareWorkers" is a subclass of "Parallel::Prefork" that supports setting minimum and maximum number of spare worker processes, a feature commonly found in network servers. The module adds to "Parallel::Prefork" several initialization parameters, constants, and a method to set state of the worker processes.
Instantiation. "Parallel::Prefork::ShpareWorkers" recognizes the following parameters in addition to those defined by "Parallel::Prefork". The parameters can be accessed using accessors with same names as well.
min_spare_workers
minimum number of spare workers (mandatory)
max_spare_workers
maxmum number of spare workers (default: max_workers)
heartbeat
a fractional period (in seconds) of child amount checking. Do not use very small numbers to avoid frequent use of CPU (default: 0.25)
scoreboard_file
filename of scoreboard. If not set, "Parallel::Prefork::SpareWorkers" will create a temporary file.
sets a single-byte character state of the worker process. Worker processes should set any character of their choice using the function (but not one of the reserved characters) to declare that it is running some kind of task. Or the state should be set to "STATUS_IDLE" '_' once the worker enters idle state. The other reserved character is "STATUS_NEXIST" '.' which should never be set directly by applications.
scoreboard status character '.', meaning no worker process is assigned to the slot of the scoreboard. Applications should never set this value directly.
scoreboard status character '_', meaning that a worker process is in idle state
