Cool, thanks for the quick response, Stas. I don't seem to have LWP::Parallel. Looks like I need to upgrade to the newest version of LWP. But yes, I did notice that ab gives much more accurate results. I was using Time::HiRes to simply measure the time it takes from request to response, and it gave widely varying results. Which was why I wanted to do a loop so I could divide the total time taken by the number of iterations. I'm glad to hear you're already working on it. I'll definitely help out with your regression suite, because I haven't gotten too far on mine (I just started working on it today). Thanks for the LWP list ref.. I'll post the question there. -Adi Stas Bekman wrote: > > First I work on a similar suite as well. I didn't want to announce it yet, > before I get some things working.
