LWP::Parallel::UserAgent problem
Hi again,

Up to Links 2.03 we were using LWP::Parallel::UserAgent for mod we did (taking info from a remote XML file, for sponsored search results) with search.cgi. But after migrating to Links 3.x it is impossible to continue using this library for that mod since it conflicted when loading GT::WWW (when trying to build, we'd get a 500 internal error).

So we tried to use GT::WWW in replacement of LWP::Parallel::UserAgent but it generates a huge load on the server, and the search results wouldn't always show (we'd get "status 200 OK", or pages that wouldn't load all the way).

The problem is happening in the servers that have perl 5.6.1 and 5.8.0 but not in the one where we have 5.8.5 (there the pages seem to load fine with GT::WWW, no timeouts, etc.). We are however looking for a way to make lwp::parallel::useragent work so that we can separate it from the GT layer.

I forgot, we are using apache apache_1.3.31 with mod_perl 1.29.

Thanks!
