Hi Hugh
Thanks for the advice. I tried to install Hires but got the error ,please 
advise.

PPM> install Time::Hires
Install package 'Time-Hires?' (y/N): y
Installing package 'Time-Hires'...
Error installing package 'Time-Hires': Read a PPD for 'Time-Hires', but it 
is no
t intended for this build of Perl (MSWin32-x86-multi-thread)
My OS is windows 2003 server in VMware, MS SQL workgroup edition 
install.Perl 5.6.1.Build 638

Do you have more details on how to use that for testing the performance? Any 
tools recommended to simulate thousands of users concurrent login?
Thanks!
Scott
