Hi, sorry that nobody answered this before.
I'm reviewing some old bugs and while the Benchmark output in this one
hasn't changed in twelve years AFAICS, I'm not sure I get the problem.
What extra space are you referring to above? I see some *after* the first
parenthesis, but the one between 'secs' and '(' seems appropriate.
In case you mean the space after the first parenthesis, that's a direct
result of the documented default %5.2f format you mentioned, right?
% perl -MBenchmark -le '$t1 = Benchmark->new; sleep 1; $t2 = Benchmark->new;
print timestr(timediff($t2, $t1))'
1 wallclock secs ( 0.00 usr + 0.00 sys = 0.00 CPU)
