David is right, you will not find an equivalent. My advise is to mix PHP and perl. You can get a perl script to handle the URL retrieval stuff and pass handlign back to php when you are done. It's this approach that i took when creating the mega upload progress bar for php.
all the best

I am looking for PHP analog of Perl LWP::Parallel.
I need to fetch several URL(pages) from PHP at the same time.
I have a script which fetch 5-10 URL, each URL fetched 0.5 - 2 sec.
Totally it's about 10 seconds in average.
I suppose if I fetched them parallel I would speed up the script 5 times.
I am looking mostly for PHP solutions.
(Hope they exist :)
Think you're out of luck. Yes, it's a problem I've run up against more than once. There's no thread support in PHP [4. Anyone know if it's in 5?].
I suppose you might be able to hack something together by spawning external processes, but... might as well just do it all externally then.
