    Are you sure it won't work on Windows? It uses a select loop, which should be supported on Win32.

    If you explain what you're trying to do, people might be able to offer better suggestions. LWP::Parallel is a cool hack, but in practice it doesn't have great performance.

Use ActiveState's ppm

    ActiveState's Perl comes with ppm, which is a package manager for Perl modules. 
    C:\>ppm
PPM interactive shell (2.1.2) - type 'help' for available commands.
PPM> set repository ACTIVESTATE http://www.activestate.com/Packages/
PPM> install LWP::Parallel

    [download]
    And, there you have it.
