## beat6 - a simple ipv6 http stress tester
This is a simple perl script to stress test http servers via ipv6 only.
### dependencies
Beat6 requires perl with thread support and the following modules:
* Net::HTTPS
* Net::DNS
* IO::Socket::SSL
* IO::Socket::INET6
* Time::HiRes
* Number::Bytes::Human
### install
I suggest using perlbrew. Sample installation:
wget -O - https://install.perlbrew.pl | bash
perlbrew install-cpanm
perlbrew install --thread -n perl-5.22.4
cpanm Net::HTTPS
cpanm IO::Socket::INET6
cpanm IO::Socket::SSL
cpanm Number::Bytes::Human
cpanm Net::DNS
Then execute beat6 with:
perlbrew use perl-5.22.4
perl beat6 -h
