I'm not interested in benchmarking. This is really about testing new releases of (legacy) software that work fine when run by themselves, but which blow up for some reason in a mod_perl environment.
I don't see httperf allowing me to do what I want to do. It has some support for replaying sessions, but they don't seem to support POST requests.
Am I missing something?

I thought I remembered it supporting POST, but I'm not psitive. What I've done with it is turn an apache log into a httperf session and play it back. If you really need it to be live, I would look at LWP instead. There are a couple of modules for proxying requests with LWP, which you can find on CPAN, but you'd have to do a bit of work to make them actually run the request locally as well as proxy it. Ideally, I would put the proxy stuff in a cleanup handler.
