Pick a forum, ask, and then follow up responses with questions. For instance if merlyn's response was too much, say, "I am trying to work my way through the link that you gave, but I am getting bogged down. Is there a more minimal intro that anyone can refer me to?" If you get no responses for a day or 2, then I might suggest asking in another forum and say that you didn't get any responses, so you are asking here. Alternately you can look at your question and try to figure out why you didn't get responses. (One common situation. If people see that you asked, were answered, and you say no more, people assume that the answer helped. If it didn't, without feedback nobody will know that!)

In short, treat your message as the start of an attempted conversation. Assume that between your initial asking and your understanding there may be a couple of rounds of discussion.

In this case I cannot check this code because I don't have the necessary module. But try the following example based on the documentation: 

use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
use Parallel::ForkManager;

# I  assume you have reasons for a hash later..?
my %urls = (
  'drudge'  => 'http://www.drudgereport.com',
  'rush'    => 'http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/today.guest.html',
  'yahoo'   => 'http://www.yahoo.com',
  'cds'     => 'http://www.cdsllc.com/',
);

my $pm = new Parallel::ForkManager(30);
foreach my $file (sort keys %urls) {
  $pm->start and next; # do the fork

  # Start child code.
  my $ret = getstore($url{$file}, $file);
  print "File '$file' stored url '$url' with response code '$ret'\n";

  # End child code.
  $pm->finish();
}

$pm->wait_all_children;

Note the use of strict.pm and a consistent indentation style. Those are both excellent habits that will save you a lot of grief in the long run...
