✨ NAME ✨

PCP::LogSummary — bestie, it's a Perl interface for pmlogsummary(1). That's the whole vibe. 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay so here's literally all you gotta write:

use PCP::LogSummary;

my $summary = new PCP::LogSummary($log, \@metrics, $start, $end);

Yes queen, that's it. Three lines and you're ✨summarising✨.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like. PCP::LogSummary is a wrapper around the Performance Co-Pilot pmlogsummary(1) command. 💅 That's its whole job and it does it gorgeously.

Its primary purpose is to automate the production of post-processed pmlogsummary data — and especially to automate that one step where the summarised data gets imported into a spreadsheet for further anaylsis. And bestie, let me tell you, that step has proven to often be an iterative process. Done manually it involves so much cutting + pasting, and honestly? It can be a significant time waster. Not the main character energy we're going for. 😭

🌸 EXPORT 🌸

The following are exported:
