Timing Perl Scripts

How to do it

[adni18]

Hi. I need to time my perl script to see how long it takes. How can I do this?

[eltreno]

In php I set the time in a variable at the top of the script then again at the bottom of it and print the difference of the 2 vars to the page

you'll obviously need time in microseconds

Hope this helps

How can that be done?

Use the Benchmark.pm perl module.

The benchmark module is awesome!
It's really good for comparing functions (since perl = there's more than one way to do it) to see which is faster and takes less memory...

Thanks.

So how long does Benchmark.pm take to load/interpret? ;)
