I would look at AnyEvent::HTTP, which allows you to run lots (and lots) of HTTP requests in parallel. To reduce bandwidth on errors, you could first test with a HEAD request and follow up with a GET request on success. If you expect most URLs to be successfull and want the body then, I would just use a GET request.
For grouping all your requests, have a look at the ->begin method of CondVars in AnyEvent.
A rough, untested program could look something like this:
#!perl -w
use strict;
use AnyEvent;
use AnyEvent::HTTP;
my $done = AnyEvent->condvar;
while (my $url = <DATA>) {
$url =~ s!\s+$!!;
$done->begin( sub { $_[0]->send } );
http_get $url, sub {
my ($body, $headers) = @_;
print "Retrieved $url ($headers->{Status})";
$done->end
};
};
print "All requests sent. Waiting for responses.\n";
$done->recv;
print "Done.\n";
__DATA__
http://localhost
http://example.com
http://google.in
Update: Remove whitespace at end of the URLs

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).
