You could use LWP::UserAgent from a remote machine to automate requests in rabbit mode (fork and sleep). The UA could get or post forms to simulate registration, login, queries, etc., with HTML::LinkExtor scraping more links to follow, (if applicable) and Time::HiRes benchmarking response times for varying numbers of concurrent 'users'. Is WWW::Mechanize more appropriate for this sort of thing? Then again, this approach could qualify as a DoS attack, if you share hosting.
