Loadtests with perl?

Dear listmembers, I am curious, if it is possible to test load on a windows machine using perl. With load I mean cpu, ram, filesystem-io and of course ethernet-io. Are there modules? I think cpu-load could easily be tested by looping. But how should ethernet and filesystem load being tested?

Thanks Bill. Your advice helps me removing previous warning message, however it doesn`t work anyway and cause new warning messages. It seems I don`t understand how it works :( I want to make a list of pairs of two elements AccountName = text_format_SID. For this I use following function

Re: Loadtests with perl?

You can access any of the Windoze performance counters using Perl's Win32::PerfLib ob both local and remote systems. So any of the file system, CPU, memory and Ethernet counters are all accessible. See the perldoc for examples. The authors web site also has more examples and documentation.

Re: Loadtests with perl?

There probably are load generating modules for Perl but I'm not familiar with any. Personally for generating load for web servers and testing load I use OpenSTA (http://www.opensta.org). PerfLib I use more for monitoring rather than load generating and testing but it is certainly okay for

DB_File very slow with Perl 5.8

I recently started testing an application with ActiveState Perl 5.8.2-808 on Windows XP that I have previously been shipping with Activate Perl 5.6.1-635. With Perl 5.6, one particular test took about 100 seconds. With Perl 5.8, it takes about 235 seconds. Looking further with dprofpp, I

RE: Loadtests with perl?

Title: RE: Loadtests with perl? For filesystem-io you may be able to write a short sub that writes to a file and another that reads and then use Benchmark to exersize each 10 times or so. As for ethernet, are you looking to generate load, or do you just want to know stats about how it is

Re: Command line arg monitor

You can just write an client/server app. The server would run as a service and listen on a port you specify and the client would connect specifically to that port on that service. This also gives you the ability to expend and run the client from anywhere on your network that would allow the port

hey, I'm getting the following bug in Win32::AdminMisc::SetEnvVar: Win32::AdminMisc::SetEnvVar('home', 'C:/cygwin/home/horos'); causes a program crash (it looks like it is the '/' but I'm not sure). Is it safe to set the environment variable directly in the registry, or is that not portable?

Monitoring Files in a Directory

Hi to All, I'm trying to create a script that will monitor the addition of files in a particular directory. I've tried using the Win32::ChangeNotify module but I believe this does not include listings of files that were added/deleted to the directory. I've also tried using the Win32::AdvNotifybut
