engine for Perl providing parallel processing capabilities
MCE spawns a pool of workers and therefore does not fork a new
process per each element of data. Instead, MCE follows a bank queuing
model. Imagine the line being the data and bank-tellers the parallel
workers. MCE enhances that model by adding the ability to chunk the
next n elements from the input stream to the next available worker.

This module is used to check the portability across operating systems
of the names of the files present in the distribution of a module.
The tests use the advices given in "Files and Filesystems" in
perlport. The author of a distribution can select which tests to
execute.
- Recognize new sendsyslog() (pointed out by millert@).
- Sync all the other missing syscalls and provide stubs.
- Use the latest versions of automake/autoconf.
The aim of the wrapt module is to provide a transparent object proxy
for Python, which can be used as the basis for the construction of
function wrappers and decorator functions.
The wrapt module focuses very much on correctness. It therefore
goes way beyond existing mechanisms such as functools.wraps() to
ensure that decorators preserve introspectability, signatures, type
checking abilities etc. The decorators that can be constructed using
this module will work in far more scenarios than typical decorators
and provide more predictable and consistent behaviour.
To ensure that the overhead is as minimal as possible, a C extension
module is used for performance critical components. An automatic
fallback to a pure Python implementation is also provided where a
target system does not have a compiler to allow the C extension to
be compiled.
