There are several job queue and execution systems available to perl but while they may suit the application of the designer they do not always generalise well causing frustration when some critical feature is missing. They also provide different interfaces making it harder to change system.

Arbyte can make use of systems such as Helios, TheSchwartz and Gearman while providing a consistent interface and the ability to override behaviours to suit the application's requirements.

This talk will describe the Arbyte architecture, options for customisation and integration with other systems and note current state of development. The speaker hopes to gain feedback from the community with a view to releasing the system on CPAN if after further development it proves successful.
