NAME

Dumbbench::Instance::PerlSub - Benchmarks a Perl code reference

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use Dumbbench;
my $bench = Dumbbench->new(
  target_rel_precision => 0.005, # seek ~0.5%
  initial_runs         => 20,    # the higher the more reliable
);
$bench->add_instances(
  Dumbbench::Instance::PerlSub->new(name => 'mauve', code => sub {...}),
  # ... more things to benchmark ...
);
$bench->run();
# ...
            
          

DESCRIPTION

This class inherits from Dumbbench::Instance and implements benchmarking of Perl code references.

METHODS

new

Constructor that takes named arguments.

In addition to the properties of the base class, the Dumbbench::Instance::PerlSub constructor requires a code parameter. The code needs to be subroutine reference.

Optionally, you can provide a dry_run_code option. It has the same structure and purpose as the code option, but it is used for the dry-runs. By default, an empty sub is used for this, so it's unlikely you will need the dry-run unless you want to strip out some particular overhead.

code

Returns the code string that was set during construction.

dry_run_code

Returns the dry-run code string that was set during construction.

SEE ALSO

Dumbbench, Dumbbench::Instance, Dumbbench::Instance::PerlEval, Dumbbench::Instance::Cmd, Dumbbench::Result

Benchmark

Number::WithError does the Gaussian error propagation.

SOOT can optionally generate histograms from the timing distributions.
