## This example demonstrates the sqrt example from Parallel::Loops.
## Parallel::Loops utilizes Parallel::ForkManager.
##
## Tested on Mac OS X 10.9.5; with Perl 5.16.2; 2.6 GHz Core i7;
## 1600 MHz RAM. The number indicates the size of input displayed
## in 1 second. Output was directed to >/dev/null during testing.
##
## Parallel::Loops:        800  Forking each @input is expensive
## MCE->foreach...:     70,000  Workers persist between each @input
## MCE->forseq....:    200,000  Uses sequence of numbers as input
## MCE->forchunk..:  1,000,000  IPC overhead is greatly reduced
##
## usage: forseq.pl [ size ]
## usage: forseq.pl [ begin end [ step [ format ] ] ]
##
##   For format arg, think as if passing to sprintf (without the %)
##   forseq.pl 20 30 0.2 4.1f
