Ok, i´m using the module LWP to download HTML files and parsing them. The porblem is that i have too many html files to download and parse, so my code get one url and when finish get next url.... etc.... there are about 30000 urls, so this is too slow. I need to make at least that 10 threads work at the same time downloading. I read some infos about threads and threads::shared , but i´m a beginner and i can´t find the way to do that by myself. My code is the next:
##########################START###################### #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use LWP::UserAgent; use HTTP::Request; print "Working...\n"; my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; $ua->agent("Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 98; DigExt)"); $ua->timeout(15); open (URL_PLANETS,"url_planets.txt"); my @urls = <URL_PLANETS>; foreach my $planet (@urls) { open (NAMES,">>planet_names.txt"); print "Downloading: " , $planet , "\n"; my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $planet); my $response = $ua->request($req); my $content = $response->content(); print NAMES $content =~ m@Rotations<i>(.*)</i>@m,"\n"; } close(URL_PLANETS); close(NAMES); ###############################END########################
Any easy code,easy example, tutorial or something for a begginer will be verry useful. Sorry for my poor english. Thanks in advance.
