concurrent curl POST requests

What's the quickest way to create concurrent curl requests? I have a app which accepts POST requests and would like to do some load testing

I would like to run the following cURL command concurrently and not sequentially

 curl -d "param1=value1&param2=value2" http://example.com/test

Thanks

I do this kind of thing (generating concurrent POST requests) with a few small perl scripts I wrote:

I'm planning to port it to python, but the perl version works pretty well right now.

How about ApacheBench? You've probably already got it installed.

I am not confident but spawning multiple processes in the bachground?

nohup curl -parameters &

For load testing perhaps you need something like multi-threading, you might also want to research for already available tools.
