Don't post DoS source in public.

People understanding the problem usually are able to write this little script themselfs, but now everybody trying to abuse the internet could simply copy your sample and (try to) take down any site.

I don't think that this source would do the job either, because 128 tasks would run on the client and few client computers are able to handle this. LWP::UserAgent::Parallel might do a better job here.
Finally Apache and most other webservers are able to queue some connection requests and thus handle more incoming connections than workers.
If the starting page isn't too much source, the webserver won't even go into a DoS state, because one request will be processed before the client is able to give enough CPU time to another task to send the next request.
