SYNOPSIS

  use Directory::Queue;
  use Directory::Queue::Set;

  $dq1 = Directory::Queue->new(path => "/tmp/q1");
  $dq2 = Directory::Queue->new(path => "/tmp/q2");
  $dqset = Directory::Queue::Set->new($dq1, $dq2);

  ($dq, $elt) = $dqset->first();
  while ($dq) {
      # you can now process the element $elt of queue $dq...
      ($dq, $elt) = $dqset->next();
  }
