[torqueusers] scheduler in Perl?

[Kenneth Yoshimoto]

  I prefer Python, but Perl should be pretty easy.
There's at least one Perl/PBS interface:
http://search.cpan.org/~tmerritt/PBS-0.03/lib/PBS.pm
http://linux.die.net/man/3/pbs

  Or, you could write little C utilities to talk to
Torque.

You need to:
- get job info
- get node info
- decide when and where to run each job
- run the job
- cancel jobs that have overrun requested walltime

It's tricky running more than one task per node.
Also, watch out for users doing a qalter.  A change
in job geometry may mess up your schedule.
