#pod =head1 DESCRIPTION
#pod
#pod L is a distributed task runner. One or more workers are
#pod created to run tasks, and then each task is sent to a worker to be run.
#pod Tasks are configured as L objects by L
#pod container files.
#pod
#pod =head1 GETTING STARTED
#pod
#pod =head2 Configure Minion
#pod
#pod To start running your L jobs, you must first start
#pod a L worker with the L
#pod worker.command|Beam::Minion::Command::worker>.  Minion requires
#pod a database to coordinate workers, and communicates with this database
#pod using a L.
#pod
#pod The supported Minion backends are:
#pod
#pod =over
#pod
#pod =item *
#pod
#pod L - C<< sqlite: >>
#pod
#pod =item *
#pod
#pod L - C<< postgresql://:@/ >>
#pod
#pod =item *
#pod
#pod L - C<< mysql://:@/ >>
#pod
#pod =item *
#pod
#pod L - C<< mongodb://: >>
#pod
#pod =back
#pod
#pod Once you've picked a database backend, configure the C
#pod environment variable with the URL. Minion will automatically deploy the
#pod database tables it needs, so be sure to allow the right permissions (if
#pod the database has such things).
#pod
#pod In order to communicate with Minion workers on other machines, it will
#pod be necessary to use a database accessible from the network (so, not
#pod SQLite).
#pod
#pod =head2 Start a Worker
#pod
#pod Once the C environment variable is set, you can start
#pod a worker with C<< beam minion worker >>. Each worker can run jobs from
#pod all the containers it can find from the C environment
#pod variable. Each worker will run up to 4 jobs concurrently.
#pod
#pod =head2 Spawn a Job
#pod
#pod Jobs are spawned with C<< beam minion run   >>.
#pod The C must be an object that consumes the L
#pod role. C should be a path to a container file and can be
#pod an absolute path, a path relative to the current directory, or a
#pod path relative to one of the paths in the C environment
#pod variable (separated by C<:>).
#pod
#pod You can queue up jobs before you have workers running. As soon as
#pod a worker is available, it will start running jobs from the queue.

#pod
#pod Enqueue the task named C<$task_name> from the container named C<$container_name>.
#pod The C environment variable must be set.
#pod
#pod C<\%opt> is a hash reference with the following keys:
#pod
#pod =over
#pod
#pod =item attempts
#pod
#pod Number of times to retry this job if it fails. Defaults to C<1>.
#pod
#pod =item delay
#pod
#pod Time (in seconds) to delay this job (from now). Defaults to C<0>.
#pod
#pod =item priority
#pod
#pod The job priority. Higher priority jobs get performed first. Defaults to C<0>.
