DESCRIPTION

See above.

METHODS

new( TASK, [TASK, ...] )

Creates a McFeely::Metatask. This acts exactly like (and in fact ISA) a McFeely::Task and supports all the rest of the latter's methods.

add_tasks ( TASK, [TASK, ...] )

This acts exactly like the method of the same name in McFeely::Job. See the documentation in McFeely::Job for more information.

add_dependencies( REQUIREMENT, [REQUIREMENT, ...] )

This acts exactly like the method of the same name in McFeely::Job and supports setting up intra-metatask dependencies. See the documentation in McFeely::Job for more information.
