Hi Daniel - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6473785/improving-lwpsimple-perl-performance should bring you on the right track. If you want to avoid multiple threads/processes then "Keep-Alive" most likely will give you the biggest performance gain. The TCP connection stays open after you made the first request and you can send more requests over the same connection.

Opening and closing a socket connection is too slow a process so much so a single file would take as much as 10 seconds! Is there any perl script out there that can be used to efficiently fetch HTTP files? A non-closing script? I sure wanna do Threaded on this one, but my win32 perl does not have thread capability. Or perhaps, is there a win32 API for this purpose and can be called from a perl script? thanks Dan
