If you're trying to do an overall performance test, CPU speed (or "power") is only one factor. If your task is I/O bound it may even be a negligible factor.
In general, trying to scale performance numbers is difficult. You may want to try running some baseline tests a few times on each platform to see if the results are comparable. If so, you could then proceed with testing on your machine and scaling the results up or down. It's not perfect, but it's probably reasonable.
You can use Perl tools like Benchmark.pm for conducting the tests, but the problem itself is much broader.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
