perl-fu: queuing up?

Is there anything built into Perl-fu that would permit me to "queue up" scripts, rather than having them run concurrently?

I don't have the system resources to manage multiple tasks, but I'd like to be able to run scripts from the command line or from within gimp without having them all fighting over memory and CPU time.

Any sort of queuing system in existence?

Why do you start them concurrently when you don't want them to run concurrently?

I guess for commandline a simple shell-script would suffice, and if you have a really complicated case, any queueing system for batch jobs would help.

If you run the scripts within the same gimp instance you can use locking (see Gimp::lock and unlock in perldoc Gimp).
