Ok, attached is a patch on top of the last one which changes the code as you described it above. Additionally there's a revamped test. While I was hunting another totally stupid bug, I found out that I actually forgot to add the $filter in the second call to pickup_job in wait_for_job. Gave some nasty surprises. And visit_all_jobs now supports $filter, too. The syntax for $filter has changed a bit: If it is a string, it must be equal the tag, if it is a RE created with qr// it is matched as a RE. Can you update the QUEUE DIRECTORY STRUCTURE section for me? Your English is a lot better than mine :) Cheers, MalteThread Previous | Thread Next
