ApacheBench comes with Apache (src/support/ab.c). Stas has a benchmarking
perl module available at
http://stason.org/work/modules/Apache-Benchmark-0.01.tar.gz
which uses ab to run tests. I am working on a perl (XS) interface to ab,
with some extra features, which should be ready for first release in a week
or two. Sounds like you don't need much more than ab at the moment though.
