This function creates data structures that are suitable for sending off
a mass of similar but different HTTP requests. All array references are expanded
into the cartesian product of their contents. The above example would create
two requests:

      url => '/profiles/Mark,
      url => '/profiles/John',

C returns an iterator in scalar context. In list context, it
returns the complete list of requests:

  my @requests = generate_requests(
      url => '/profiles/:name',
      url_params => ['Mark','John'],
      wrap => sub {
          my( $req ) = @_;
          # Fix up some values
          $req->{headers}->{'Content-Length'} = 666;
      },
  );
  for my $r (@requests) {
      send_request( $r );
  };

Note that returning a list instead of the iterator will use up quite some memory
quickly, as the list will be the cartesian product of the input parameters.

There are helper functions
that will turn that data into a data structure suitable for your HTTP framework
of choice.

  {
    method => 'GET',
    url => '/profiles/Mark',
    scheme => 'http',
    port => 80,
    headers => {},
    body_params => {},
    query_params => {},
  }

As a shorthand for creating lists, you can use the C option, which
will expand a string into a set of requests. C<{}> will expand into alternatives
while C<[xx..yy]> will expand into the range C to C. Note that these
lists will be expanded in memory.

=head3 Options

=over 4

=item B

    pattern => 'https://example.{com,org,net}/page_[00..99].html',

Generate URLs from this pattern instead of C, C
and C.

=item B

URL template to use.

=item B

Parameters to replace in the C template.

=item B

Parameters to replace in the POST body.

=item B

Parameters to replace in the GET request.

=item B

Hostname(s) to use.

=item B

Port(s) to use.

=item B

Headers to use. Currently, no templates are generated for the headers. You have
to specify complete sets of headers for each alternative.

=item B

Limit the number of requests generated.
