Web page manipulation and multi threading

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello monks, I'm intersted in manipulating web pages via perl and performing performance tests on them by multi threading and simulating users, hundreds (maybe thousands) I'm thinking about using LWP for the project. I have to cycle through 6 pages to a submit button, and submit the form. Any sugesstions on any other perl modules I should check out?

There are tons of testing frameworks that have been discussed here before. (Try using SuperSearch.) If you need to put really heavy load on something, perl might not work as well as multi-threaded C. Try http_load or httperf.	[reply]
