Hi again,

The following provides a MCE::Loop demonstration. This time, am using a hash for storing the returned data. Workers pass data using socket handles inside MCE. Thus, no temp files are made for sending data to the parent process.

use strict;
use warnings;
use feature 'say';

use MCE::Loop;

my $threads = 4;

my @name = ('read_genome', 'read_mapfile', 'read_GTF', 'read_RM');
my @task = (\&read_genome, \&read_mapfile, \&read_GTF, \&read_RM);
my %ret;

if ($threads == 1) {
    for my $id (0 .. $#task) {
        $ret{"$id"} = eval { $task[$id]->() };
        $ret{"$id:err"} = $@;
    }
}
else {
    MCE::Loop->init(
        max_workers => $threads,
        posix_exit  => 1,
        chunk_size  => 1
    );
    %ret = mce_loop {
        my $id  = $_;
        my $res = eval { $task[$id]->() };
        MCE->gather( $id => $res, "$id:err" => $@ );
    }
    [ 0 .. $#task ];

    MCE::Loop->finish;
}

sub read_genome {
    # do something
    return { 'aa' => 'bb' };
}
sub read_mapfile {
    # do something
    return { 'cc' => 'dd' };
}
sub read_GTF {
    # do something
    die 'exception';
    return { 'ee' => 'ff' }; # not reached
}
sub read_RM {
    # do something
    return { 'gg' => 'hh' };
}

# use data generated in the subroutines

use Data::Dumper;

for my $id (0 .. $#task) {
    say "## ", $name[$id];
    if (length $ret{"$id:err"}) {
        say "ERROR: ", $ret{"$id:err"};
        next;
    }
    say Dumper($ret{$id});
}

Output:

          'aa' => 'bb'
        };

## read_mapfile

          'cc' => 'dd'
        };

## read_GTF

## read_RM
