Edit: The option name was renamed to "user_tasks". Updated the URL.

Dearest Perl Monks,

A upcoming Many-core Engine for Perl (MCE) release 1.2 is near completion. The release will support tasklets. The question I have is should the new option name stay "tasklets" or be named "sets" or something else?

use threads;
use threads::shared;

use MCE;

my $mce = MCE->new(
   input_data => \@ip_list,
   chunk_size => 500,
   tasklets => [{
      max_workers => 8,
      use_threads => 0,
      user_func   => \&pinger
   },{
      max_workers => 48,
      use_threads => 1,
      user_func   => \&poller
   },{
      max_workers => 8,
      use_threads => 1,
      user_func   => \&db
   }]
);

$mce->run();

After some thought, I'm thinking that "tasklets" is fitting here? But maybe "sets" is fitting. Yikes, just coming up with the name for the new option is harder than I had imagined.

Thanks, Mario
