ABOUT
Devel::NYTProf is an adavanced, line-by-line code profiler with built-in report generation capability. In short, it uses a XS (or C) library to "quickly" profile your code. The statistics collected can then be run through one of the reporting modules (included) to produce detailed reports. For example, an HTML reporter is included which generates a page for each of your modules. That report includes stats such as:
- Total calls (times executed)
- Total time spent
- Average time/call
- Color highlighting based on absolute deviations from the median. i.e. quickly find the slowest lines and files.
- Source code that goes with each of the stats
- Subroutine (and block) level profiling
- Apache mod_perl support
- And a flexible output api
CONTRIBUTING
Everybody is welcome to join us in hacking Devel::NYTProf! Head on over to the source tab and grab a copy of the latest release from SVN. If you've got something good done, let us know and we'll see about getting you changes added. Small changes can be effected via patch. Larger or longer-term changes will probably necessitate SVN write access.
Regardless of the method of submission, if you contribute documentation, code, or bug reports, you'll get credit somewhere (minimally in the Changelog, or potentially as a co-author).
Also be sure to announce yourself by posting to our development group
DOCUMENTATION
Far more detail on the who, what, why and how can be found at CPAN page. That is also where you will find the most current stable release and testing information.
The trunk here on Google Code contains the most recent developer version. Its usually worth a look!
