To All -

I have liberated another software product!  The top brass at SaveSmart have
finally realized the value of the freeware community, and I can now offer
the "LoadWorm" to all interested parties.  I hope I can enlist some of you
to help make it the powerful, broad based website test and load tool that
it can become.

The LoadWorm is a tool to load a website with programmed requests, and to
record the resultant performance, from a web client's perspective.  It can
also be used for various investigative purposes, such as validation of the
website, or discovering all the referrers to a page, etc.  I have already
used it to discover faults that have lead to a major re-architecting here
at SaveSmart commercial site(s). It runs, unaltered, on Unix and Win32
(tested on Solaris 2.4, Linux, and WinNT 4.0).

This is an application, written in Perl, that uses LWP, LWP::Parallel,
sockets (lots of them!), and Tk, so there is plenty to get your hands onto
here.  The pod will tell you how to operate it.

You can find it in a zip file at
ftp://ftp.dnai.com/users/g/glenwood/LoadWorm.zip

I hope to hear from some of you!
