A network benchmarker for Perl programs?
I had an idea for the Benchmarking chapter of Mastering Perl but I don't have time to implement it. But, with many of my ideas, someone probably already has.
The DBI::Profile module hooks into DBI calls to monitor database queries. The autodie replaces some built-ins so they error-out differently.
Could we do the same thing with the low level networking calls to measure octets…
