Dancer::Timer(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Dancer::Timer(3)NAMEDancer::Timer - a timer for Dancer
SYNOPSIS
use Dancer::Timer;
my $timer = Dancer::Timer->new();
my $time = $timer->tick;
print "[$time]: Doing something\n";
# (time passes)
$time = $timer->tick
print "[$time]: Doing something else\n";
# (time passes)
$time = $timer->to_string;
print "[$time]: Doing another thing\n";
DESCRIPTIONDancer::Timer provides Dancer with a timing object to clock operations.
For example, you might want a logging that shows you when each
operation happened (at what time) to determine how long each operation
was in order to know where to focus on for possible bugs or perhaps
unnecessary slowness.
Dancer uses Dancer::Timer in facilities that want to provide this for
you. Any plugin author is more than welcome to use it as well.
ATTRIBUTES
start_time
Retains the starting time of the timer. The default value is when the
object is created. It fetches that using "gettimeofday" from
Time::HiRes.
METHODS
init
This method is called when "->new()" is called. It initializes the
"start_time" attribute.
tick
Creates a tick in the timer and returns the interval between the
"start_time" and now.
to_string
Same as "tick", just more expressive.
