i've been thinkin over this and cant seem to get the right way into things. I have a batch of URL's. Lets say 
http://www.cnn.com/
http://www.bbc.com/
http://www.news.com/
i would like to use LWP::Simple;

and get() them on my machine, without waiting for them to finish the download - something like a wget url.com &

How could i do this with a fork() ?

my plan was something like 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use LWP::Simple;
use strict;
my @urls = qw!http://www.cnn.com/
http://www.bbc.com/
http://www.news.com/!;

for (@urls) { 
&get_em($_);
}

sub get_em { 
my $url = shift;
$url =~ m!http://www.(.*?)/!;
if ($pid = fork) {  } 
elsif ($pid == 0 ) { 
getstore($url, "$1.txt");
}
}

[download]
I dont know the real code i want for this, could someone help me out please ?

Thanks
