My series of "Link Checkers" in my columns have had that problem as
well.  The most recent incarnation does a preforking with a
hand-rolled RPC, which I wrote before seeing Parallel::ForkManager,
and can be read about in

I must say, I'm concerned about this line though:

Who's pages?  Are you following the robot protocol?  Are you building
