I see, Now I have an idea what's going on, thanks. I will consider using "sleep". What a name. Actually, "groovy" did the job at least for the moment. (Also a fancy name. Is there a "lame_duck", too?)
http://webtest.canoo.com/webtest/manual/scriptStep.html should be corrected. It claims: "language" can be any language supported by the Bean Scripting Framework (BSF)<http://webtest.canoo.com/webtest/manual/annotatedRefs.html#BSF>, e.g. [...] perl, [...] groovy.

You can have a look at the Sleep Language http://sleep.dashnine.org/ which is heavily inspired by Perl ! And is JSR223 compliant. Download it and bind it to your classpath. Then I think you can seamlessly integrate it by doing <scriptStep description="calculate..." language="sleep"> print "Howdee\n"; ... </scriptStep> Hope that helps Cheers Florent Pingwy 27, rue des arènes 49100 Angers Michael Zwick a écrit : Hi, I have a question about <scriptStep> with Perl: If I insert the following into a WebTest script: <scriptStep description="calculate..." language="perl"> print "Howdee\n"; ... </scriptStep> I get: "Error invoking script: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.bsf.engines.perl.PerlEngine". I checked WebTest/lib and found "ant-apache-bsf-1.7.0.jar", but it doesn't contain "org.apache.bsf" (there is just "org.apache.tools.ant.util"). I use WebTest R_1747. Do I have to install anything additionally? And how does it work generally (is it using my local Perl installation etc.)? Thanks a lot. Cheers, Michael
