How do I profile my Perl programs?
You should get the Devel::DProf module from CPAN, and also use Benchmark.pm from the standard distribution. Benchmark lets you time specific portions of your code, while Devel::DProf gives detailed breakdowns of where your code spends its time.
Here's a sample use of Benchmark:
use Benchmark;
@junk = `cat /etc/motd`;
$count = 10_000;
timethese($count, {
'map' => sub { my @a = @junk;
map { s/a/b/ } @a;
return @a
},
'for' => sub { my @a = @junk;
local $_;
for (@a) { s/a/b/ };
return @a },
});
Benchmark: timing 10000 iterations of for, map...
for: 4 secs ( 3.97 usr 0.01 sys = 3.98 cpu)
map: 6 secs ( 4.97 usr 0.00 sys = 4.97 cpu) |
