Folks, once again I bow before the monks seeking direction. I want to load test an image server, but I do not want to use simple GET requests. I want to do the following:

1) send a request and determine its success
2) determine how long the request took to full fill
3) send multiple requests without waiting the first responce
4) send requests only after the previous request has been returned or fullfilled.

Now to do this, I do not think Get requests will suffice... I will need to be able to read the TCP headers and such.

My problem is that I am not sure which perl modules will work best for me. I want something that will do the job, but is easy enough to work with and not require a CIE--I am only a ccna--lol

Your guidance is much appreciated
