Not sure how to do it in perl but in shell scripting, I'd create a function that would read/parse the file:

Code:
parseFile () {
  fileNm=$1
  do something...
}
then I would call the function all at once in the script...

Code:
parseFile "file1" &
parseFile "file2" &
parseFile "file3" &

wait
etc.
