I've used HTTPD::Bench::ApacheBench (available on CPAN) to do load
testing. It seems to do a good job. The hardest part is writing the
testing script (especially for form transactions..).
However, if you can do your requests with LWP it's fairly
straightforward to convert over to the ApacheBench data structures.
I'm considering writing a little mod_perl proxy server that records
the different transactions. Then I could just munge the separate
Authorization: headers to do some serious load testing...
