Implementing Flood Control (O'Reilly)

Vladi Belperchinov-Shabanski uses perl to manage Flood Control in an O'Reilly article. "'Flood control' is a method of controlling the processing-rate of a stream of events. It can reject or postpone events until there are available resources (CPU, time, space, etc.) for them. Essentially the flood control restricts the number of events processed in a specific period of time."
