Something like this might work for you:

#! perl -slw use strict; use threads; use Thread::Queue; use LWP::Simple; ## (2 to 4) * $noOfCores ## depending upon your bandwidth, server response times ## and how hard you feel you should hit them! my $noOfThreads = 10; my $firstURL = 'http://www.example.com/thePage.htm'; sub retrieveInfo { my( $content ) = @_; my $info = parseContent( $content ); ## do something with the info return; } sub listParse { my( $url, $Qout ) = @_; ## Get the first page my $content = get $url; ## find the links and push them onto the queue while( $content =~ m[...]g ) { $Qout->enqueue( $_ ); } ## Push 1 undef per thread to terminate their loops $Qout->enqueue( (undef) x $noOfThreads ); } sub getHTML { my( $Qin ) = @_; ## Read a link while( my $link = $Qin->dequeue ) { ## Fetch the content my $content = get $link; ## And process it retrieveInfo( $content ); } } ## Create the queue my $Qlinks = new Thread::Queue; ## Start the threads. my @threads = map { threads->create( \&getHTML, $Qlinks ); } 1 .. $noOfThreads; ## Fetch and parse the first page; queue the links listParse( $firstURL, $Qlinks ); ## Join the threads $_->join for @threads;

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
"Too many [] have been sedated by an oppressive environment of political correctness and risk aversion."
