    If it's specifically about a "web" client (which you didn't require, but your example is one), use LWP::ParallelUserAgent.

    you could use ParallelUserAgent. or you could try using threads.

    an example using threads could be something like: 

    
#!/usr/bin/perl
use threads;
my @urls = qw(http://www.perlmonks.org http://www.perlguru.org);

foreach my $url (@urls) {
my $thread = threads->new(\&getter, $url);
$thread->detach;
}


sub getter {
# well, here is supposed to be the get stuff #which would fetch a site
+ or whatever you'd like #to do.

#}

## Code untested
