Arch::RunLimit - class to enforce a limit on the number of running processes

    use Arch::RunLimit

    my $limit = Arch::RunLimit->new(file => $limit_file);

    die "run-limit exceeded" if $limit->exceeded;

Arch::RunLimit provides an easy way to enforce a limit on the number of concurrently running processes.

The following methods are available:

new, exceeded.

new %opts: Create a new Arch::RunLimit object with the specified options:
file (mandatory): The file used to keep track of the number of processes.
limit: The maximum number of concurrently running processes. Defaults to CW5.
timeout: The timeout after which a process is assumed to be terminated in seconds. Defaults to CW1800 (30 minutes).
exceeded: Return CW1 if the number of concurrently running processes has been exceeded, CW0 otherwise.

Awaiting your reports.
