OK, do a: 
   locate Protocol/http.pm

[download]
or similar to find where your LWP::Protocol::http module lives. Mine is in /usr/share/perl5/LWP/Protocol/http.pm. Search for the request() subroutine. Add these lines up at the top of it: 
   use Time::HiRes qw(time);
   my @times;

[download]
Add a line containing "push @times, time();" before the following three lines: 
   if ($has_content) { block, 
   ...
   $response = $self->collect($arg, $response, sub {
   ...
   unless ($drop_connection) {

[download]
and then add this at the bottom: 
   warn "wrote-request    read-headers     read-content\n@times\n";

[download]
If this is anything but a quick hack, it might be better to subclass or otherwise hook into LWP::Protocol::http to make it more maintainable. Another approach would be to just do a HEAD and then a GET, with the difference in times being the content-transfer time.
