Thanks Paul, I should profile of course, should have thought about that. I tried the below, but it's not quite clear what this means to me. When I run with "./analyze.pl foo bar" the execution time is fast, so the problem is not starting up/exiting of Perl, and I conclude it must be inside the script somwhere.
DirHandle::BEGIN takes only 0.01 seconds, so that's not it either. I don't see the regular expressions anywhere, unfortunately. Is there a way to change that? Thanks $ perl -d:DProf ./analyze.pl traplas-example output ... $ dprofpp Total Elapsed Time = 1.109888 Seconds User+System Time = 1.039888 Seconds Exclusive Times %Time ExclSec CumulS #Calls sec/call Csec/c Name 0.96 0.010 0.010 2 0.0050 0.0050 DirHandle::BEGIN 0.00 - -0.000 1 - - DirHandle::DESTROY 0.00 - -0.000 1 - - strict::bits 0.00 - -0.000 1 - - strict::import 0.00 - -0.000 1 - - Symbol::BEGIN 0.00 - -0.000 1 - - Symbol::gensym 0.00 - -0.000 1 - - DirHandle::read 0.00 - -0.000 1 - - DirHandle::open 0.00 - -0.000 2 - - Exporter::import 0.00 - -0.000 1 - - DirHandle::new 0.00 - 0.010 2 - 0.0050 main::BEGIN -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
