Hi There seems to be a bug with this code....I am trying to figure out whats going on but could use your help.... The rest of the code is the same as you posted but I added a print statement to show whats going on.... 

sub processWF {
   my @lines = (
      'perl -wle "print q(storeplaceholder stage 1);sleep(rand(10));pr
+int q(storeplaceholder stage 1 done)"
',
      'perl -wle "print q(storeplaceholder stage 2);sleep(rand(10));pr
+int q(storeplaceholder stage 2 done)"
',
   );

   while (defined (my $item = $jobs->dequeue)) {
      writeLog("Launching $item");
      foreach my $line (@lines) {
            print "replacing $line with $item\n";
            $line =~ s/storeplaceholder/$item/g;
            #print "running: $line\n";
            system($line) == 0
                or warn "Couldn't launch $line: $!";
      }
   }
}
