I have a (non-perl) program that runs with a graphical user-interface.
I would really like to test the speed of this program on a more regular basis and prefeable completly automaticly.

Speed test is a large and complex area, but what I want to test in this situation is a number of different sequences of user actions, both based on the user push a button at a specific time and pushing another button after the program has finished a request.
The latter is somewhat a problem since I have no idea on how to figure when a request is done, since it is also a demand that the (non-perl) program is NOT altered to fit into this test.

Can anyone help with how this could be done, which modules I should look into etc.

PS.
I have my (non-perl) program in both a win32 and X version, so the perlprogram needs to be nonplatform specifik.
