Has anyone here used anything other than LWP for PERL to do multiple requests parallel? I would like any alternatives that are usable on Linux/FreeBSD.

Can't say I have... Does LWP not do something you need it to?

LWP lacks some functionality that I need. In LWP you register your request URLs then make a call to a wait function which allows a defined amount of time for all the calls to return. I'd like to set a different timeout for each of the URLs in question.

You can set the timeout before each individual request ("timeout" method of the browser object). To perform requests in parallel, fork() your script into needed number of instances. I did that with no problems.
