Test2::Plugin::Times(3) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Test2::Plugin::Times(3) NAME Test2::Plugin::Times - Output timing data at the end of the test. CAVEAT It is important to note that this timing data does not include global de- struction. This data is only collected up until the point done_testing() is called. If your program takes time for END blocks, garbage collection, and similar, then this timing data will fall short of reality. DESCRIPTION This plugin will output a diagnostics message at the end of testing that tells you how much time elapsed, and how hard the system worked on the test. This will produce a string like one of these (Note these numbers are com- pletely made up). Which string is used 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) SYNOPSIS use Test2::Plugin::Times; This is also useful at the command line for 1-time use: $ perl -MTest2::Plugin::Times path/to/test.t SOURCE The source code repository for Test2-Suite can be found at https://github.com/Test-More/test-more/.
