Thank you for your kind words.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for you patch but this feature is already in beta branch of
HTTP-WebTest. You can get it from

    http://search.cpan.org/author/ILYAM/HTTP-WebTest/

Since version 1.99_04 you can use 'user_agent' to specify user agent
and since 1.99_06 you can set any HTTP header in requests using 'http_headers'.

P.S. In the future please use official module mailling lists for
questions/comments/suggestions/etc so others can benefit from
answers. You can subscribe at
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/http-webtest-general
(though it doesn't require subscription to post there).
