Perl Weekly Challenge 018
=========================

Task #2
-------
Write a script to implement *Priority Queue*. It is like regular *queue* except
each element has a *priority* associated with it. In a priority queue, an
element with high priority is served before an element with low priority. Please
check this [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priority_queue |wiki page] for more
informations. It should serve the following operations:

  1) *is_empty*: check whether the queue has no elements.

  2) *insert_with_priority*: add an element to the queue with an associated
      priority.

  3) *pull_highest_priority_element*: remove the element from the queue that has
      the highest priority, and return it. If two elements have the same
      priority, then return element added first.
