I knew I shouldn't have answered that posting at such a late hour! At any rate, the HTTP::WebTest[1] module can be used without needing to know too much about Perl. It comes with a script called wt that will execute the tests which are defined in a simple format. The biggest hurdle for a new user will be installing Perl and then getting the HTTP::WebTest module installed. Howver, those problems are better answered by the materials and resources at http://learn.perl.org.
