In a similar question: LWP::UserAgent timeout, I have suggested HTTP::Async which downloads a list of urls and reports back when done. If you want a list of urls to be fetched in parallel, there is LWP::Parallel::UserAgent. The latter will block until all urls are fethced. But they are fetched in parallel, so bandwidth and server allowing, it will probably be faster than sequential download. The former will not block, you check on progress by asking it.

However, the bottomline on answers on said question, and in this one too, is that you need to familiarise yourself with Tk::IO because:

I'd just add that, in either case, given that you are dealing with a GUI, it's usually a best practice to use a separate thread for the UI events processing and another for the processing (markong):

So, elevate yourself this festive season with multi-threading...

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
