 NAME
     HTTP::WebTest - Test remote URLs or local web files
 
 DESCRIPTION
 
     This module runs tests on remote URLs or local web files
     containing Perl/JSP/HTML/JavaScript/etc. and generates a detailed
     test report.  This module can be used "as-is" or its functionality
     can be extended using plugins.  Plugins can define test types and
     provide additional report capabilities.  This module comes with a
     set of default plugins but can be easily extended with third party
     plugins.
