You could use radiator's Radius::Radius perl module from within your own perl script. That way you could fork if a single thread isn't sending them fast enough for your needs. I believe there's an example in the goodies directory.

Shell loops of radpwtst have often been suggested in the past; I found them painful to script though. There is a problem of deltaT (rtt) as well, so you need parallel radpwtst to actually get to speed and with that you need to make sure to not send duplicates, yadda yadda yadda. It's ok if you want to check a couple of hundred requests. For benchmarking and pushing servers in the multiple thousands of reqs/s you probably want something more sophisticated but perl and Radiator have proven to be able to do that fairly well, even on a desktop machine;) /bz -- Bjoern A.
