I have had excellent success with Thread and Thread::Queue.
Sample code at This node. (Original code was Win32, but success has been reported on Linux - there is no Windows-specific code in the script).
Update 1:I acknowledge my knowledge, and hence, this advice is now somewhat obsolete (although, it continues to work). Please see BrowserUk's advice below.
I believe the sample code would work with minimal modifications, using ithreads (threads) instead of Thread(Perl 5.5), since both modules are compatible with Thread::Queue. Details are in perlthrtut.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
