hi, how I can make priority scheduler on perl? e.g. I've data flow and need queueing this by different priorites(timeouts), i.e. if something was matched it must be inherent on specify timer issue, but timer can be flushed if happening external influence(while log-file reading would be read a new value related with this timer queue) 
my $priority;
again:
$priority->{$thing}->{$index}->{timer} = $timer; # $time are external 
+value
#and then check this out...
if($priority->{$thing}->{$index}->{timer} < 1000){
#enqueued by wait and then again check accepted new external value
$priority->{$thing}->{$index}->{wait} = $priority->{$thing}->{$index}-
+>{wait} + 100;
...
goto again; # how this make not blocked?
}else{
do_smth();
}

in another words I need wait if some timer of those $thing and $index until 1000 and do than non-blocked, because if I would do this by blocked way it must be ugly and idea with queues brought a fiasco. in conclude my aim is to do queuing matched patterns coming from flow of the data in one thread.
