There are some tools that work with Selenium <http://seleniumhq.org/>
that will measure the load time. I have not used that feature
specifically, but have used Selenium along with Test::Harness to do
functional tests on web sites. There is also an older Perl driver for
Selenium 1.0 in CPAN. But I replaced that with the newer module from
their own package. Unfortunately, it appears there are no Perl
programmers still working on the Selenium project. There is a separate
group working on a Selenium 2.0 driver.
