I would like to do some HTTP requests in parallel and return the results as soon as all requests are answered or when a timeout occurs. Looks simple and looking at CPAN Coro + AnyEvent::HTTP (or Coro::LWP) should be the right tools for the job.

Only problem is, I am not at all experienced with event loops and the man pages, including inros, had too many "..." to get me going. So my hope is that one of you friendly Perl Monks has a simple example at hand.
I am hoping for something along these lines:
my @all_results;

foreach my $url (@all_urls) {
    http_get $url, sub {
        push @all_results, $_[1];
    };
}
# but how do I know that all results are there or I run into a timeout
+?
# Where and how comes Coro into the picture?

Many thanks for every help. I just don't get the overall picture and I am sure a tiny example will get me going.
