$SIG{__DIE__} = sub { print substr pop,pop@pop,pop@pop };
eval for &lt;DATA&gt;; __DATA__;

# download pages from perlmonks
printf "%-s", "getting perlmonks nodes\n";
my $node = { node1 =&gt; qw(The Monastery Gates), node2 =&gt; qw(Seekers of Perl Wisdom) };
use lwp v5.75;  # use latest version

# make sure we have a valid pid and fork off a child
require $$;
if( defined( my %pid ) ) { $pid{ fork() or die } = 1 }

# get the html data and print it
