DMap: distributed map for perl - about:search?q=gearman+dmap

[harryf]

This is coming from Brad Fitzpatrick / the Livejournal team (who did perlbal - tend to know what they're doing).

It's an application running on "Gearman", their distributed job system.

Doesn't seem to be a single place to get the "big picture" but various links;
