carterniall has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello monks
I have seven instances of userAgent which uses the 'get' method to retrieve contents seven time. The trouble is that these are tun concurrently and so the time taken is long.

What I would like to do is run these in parallel and LWP::Parallel suggests that this would be OK
HOWEVER!
The CPAN docuemntation states that LWP::Parallel is no longer maintained and the author recommends not using it.
So do you know of a replacement module which does a similar thing?

Thanks in advance monks,
Niall

    Don't use it. Instead, use Parallel::ForkManager to fork and send the requests in parallel.
