🦋 Test2::Util::Times(3pm) 🦋

okay so this is the Test2::Util::Times(3pm) page from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide, and bestie it is literally all about making timing data look cute at the end of your tests ✨

---

💖 NAME 💖

Test2::Util::Times — format timing/benchmark information 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This module exports tools for rendering timing data at the end of tests. no cap, that’s the whole vibe 🫶

---

🎀 EXPORTS 🎀

All exports are optional. You must specify subs to import — like, you gotta name what you want, the module is not just gonna hand you everything for free 💀

$str = render_bench($start, $end, $user, $system, $cuser, $csystem)
$str = render_bench($start, time(), times())

This produces a string like one of these. Note: these numbers are completely made up. Which string you get depends on the time elapsed ⏱️✨

0.12345s on wallclock (0.05 usr 0.00 sys + 0.00 cusr 0.00 csys = 0.05 CPU)

11.1234s on wallclock (0.05 usr 0.00 sys + 0.00 cusr 0.00 csys = 0.05 CPU)

01m:54.45s on wallclock (0.05 usr 0.00 sys + 0.00 cusr 0.00 csys = 0.05 CPU)

18h:22m:54.45s on wallclock (0.05 usr 0.00 sys + 0.00 cusr 0.00 csys = 0.05 CPU)

04d:18h:22m:54.45s on wallclock (0.05 usr 0.00 sys + 0.00 cusr 0.00 csys = 0.05 CPU)

The first 2 arguments are the $start and $end times in seconds — as returned by time() or Time::HiRes::time() ⭐

The last 4 arguments are timing information as returned by the times() function 🧚
