This isn't a perl solution, but I still think it'd be useful. If you're using the ubiquitous apache server, you should probably check out the lovely apache benchmark tool, 'ab'. It will give you FAR better results than your script will, because it allows you to set multiple requests, concurrency and cookie values. It also gives nicely formatted, readable results.

Timing one request isn't going to be that useful anyway, you're going to get varying results depending on a bunch of factors. Use ab to do multiple requests at different times and you'll get much more useful results.

-Any sufficiently advanced technology is
indistinguishable from doubletalk.
