from Markus Hennecke; OK sthen@
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.
