Cool perl modules in the Sys:: tree
23 September 2005 11:40

Went digging through Sys:: modules on CPAN today and found some gems:

Sys::RunAlone - Ever written a script that you needed to ensure there was only ever one copy of it running?

    use Sys::RunAlone;
    ...
    __END__

Sys::RunAlone CPAN page.

Sys::RunUntil - Ever written a script that you only want to run for a specified amount of time, regardless of what it happens to be doing? Forget about forking and calling alarm(), etc. Just:

    use Sys::RunUntil '30mW';

    use Sys::RunUntil '30sC';

Sys::RunUntil CPAN page

Enjoy!
