CPAN is a very good option. However I've noticed there are a number of cpan
modules available to you in the archives. While it appears that this particular
module is not currently available in the debian archives, it's trivially easy to
create your own. Get CPAN working, then do:
apt-get install dh-make-perl
dh-make-perl --cpan LWP::Parallel --build --install
This will download the files from CPAN, unpack them, compile as necessary, then
build the .deb and then install it for you. I've yet to find a way of doing it
that's easier!
