Re^4: Wanting some clarification / opinions on MCE vs Threads

Yeah, I would never use threads for something this simple, I was just demonstrating what I perceived to be a readability improvement between threads and MCE with that example since it was quick to work up.

Since it is just a wrapper for threads, does it make sense to use it in when possible? Is there any reason not to use it IF I am in a situation where I can install modules? (which I should be since 99% of the time I'm running code on my lab machines). I'm starting to think that there isn't a downside except that MCE is not part of a standard Perl install but there aren't many code examples of MCE in the wild so it's hard to tell.

Since it is just a wrapper for threads, It seems to do more than just wrap threads. Indeed, it appears to spawn processes by default and only uses threads if you ask for them. does it make sense to use it in when possible? If you're (more) comfortable using this kind of (IMO over-engineered) framework, then take a look at the bug history (short & up to date) and maintenance history (3 new versions in 3 months) and then try it for your application. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
