Perl中的IO :: Lambda

4
我被分配了一些维护任务,其中包括一对Perl脚本。其中之一的要求是并行下载几十个文件(HTTP)。我在CPAN上寻找最简单的解决方案,并找到了这个名为IO::Lambda::HTTP的模块。
不幸的是,我完全没有函数式编程经验(只有初级Perl经验),所以虽然我看到所有示例都按照文档工作,但我无法真正修改任何内容以适应我的需求。
例如,与该模块一起提供的示例:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# $Id: parallel.pl,v 1.7 2008/05/06 20:41:33 dk Exp $
# 
# This example fetches two pages in parallel, one with http/1.0 another with
# http/1.1 . The idea is to demonstrate three different ways of doing so, by
# using object API, and explicit and implicit loop unrolling
#

use lib qw(./lib);
use HTTP::Request;
use IO::Lambda qw(:lambda);
use IO::Lambda::HTTP qw(http_request);
use LWP::ConnCache;

my $a = HTTP::Request-> new(
  GET => "http://www.perl.com/",
);
$a-> protocol('HTTP/1.1');
$a-> headers-> header( Host => $a-> uri-> host);

my @chain = ( 
  $a, 
  HTTP::Request-> new(GET => "http://www.perl.com/"),
);

sub report
{
  my ( $result) = @_;
  if ( ref($result) and ref($result) eq 'HTTP::Response') {
    print "good:", length($result-> content), "\n";
  } else {
    print "bad:$result\n";
  }
#   print $result-> content;
}

my $style;
#$style = 'object';
#$style = 'explicit';
$style = 'implicit';

# $IO::Lambda::DEBUG++; # uncomment this to see that it indeed goes parallel

if ( $style eq 'object') {
  ## object API, all references and bindings are explicit
  sub handle {
    shift;
    report(@_);
  }
  my $master = IO::Lambda-> new;
  for ( @chain) {
    my $lambda = IO::Lambda::HTTP-> new( $_ );
    $master-> watch_lambda( $lambda, \&handle);
  }
  run IO::Lambda;
} elsif ( $style eq 'explicit') {
  #
  # Functional API, based on context() calls. context is
  # $obj and whatever arguments the current call needs, a RPN of sorts.
  # The context though is not stack in this analogy, because it stays
  # as is in the callback
  #
  # Explicit loop unrolling - we know that we have exactly 2 steps
  # It's not practical in this case, but it is when a (network) protocol
  # relies on precise series of reads and writes
  this lambda {
    context $chain[0];
    http_request \&report;
    context $chain[1];
    http_request \&report;
  };
  this-> wait;
} else {
  # implicit loop - we don't know how many states we need
  # 
  # also, use 'tail'
  this lambda {
    context map { IO::Lambda::HTTP-> new( $_, async_dns => 1 ) } @chain;
    tails { report $_ for @_ };
  };
  this-> wait;
}

按照广告描述运作正常,但我实在想不出如何修改“object”或“implicit”示例,使其像IO::Lambda的概述中限制为N个并行实例。
# http://search.cpan.org/~karasik/IO-Lambda/lib/IO/Lambda.pm
# crawl for all urls in parallel, but keep 10 parallel connections max
print par(10)-> wait(map { http($_) } @hosts);

请问有人能够给我展示一个符合上述限制条件(例如限制到N个实例)的lambda代码示例吗?

此外,学习函数式编程的最佳途径是什么?对我来说它似乎完全陌生。

在这个任务中,除了IO::Lambda之外,还有其他很好的选择,例如AnyEvent::HTTP。请参见此前的SO问题

尽管我熟悉函数式编程,但上述IO::Lambda示例代码对我来说看起来相当难以理解。


同意,这是很重的东西。对于 Perl 和 FP 的初学者来说,掌握 IO::Lambda 方法可能会非常令人沮丧。AnyEvent::HTTP 看起来可用,尽管它仍需要一些工作来限制并行请求的数量。 - ivancho
