Re^2: Troubles with getting NYTProf to work properly in a CGI program

Thanks. That works fine with a script executed from a commandline, or within an environment like Emacs. However, even there, no variation I have tried lets me use "slowops=0". The documentation for Devel::NYTProf says to use slowops if some of the functions have negative timings, but I can not tell from the documentation where such an assignment is supposed to be set. From the behaviour I see, that seems to be a way to use NYTProf within a CGI script as an alternative to setting the configuration parameters I'd used in httpd.conf.

Thus, the problem remains as to how to use slowops, and some of the other items I see in the documentation for NYTProf.

Thanks

Ted

Thus, the problem remains as to how to use slowops, and some of the other items I see in the documentation for NYTProf. They're documented under http://search.cpan.org/~timb/Devel-NYTProf-4.25/lib/Devel/NYTProf.pm#NYTPROF_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE, so like the example `export NYTPROF=trace=2:start=init:file=/tmp/nytprof.out` [download] To see how ENV{NYTPROF} parses try http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/TIMB/Devel-NYTProf-4.25/lib/Devel/NYTProf/Core.pm `if (my $NYTPROF = $ENV{NYTPROF}) { for my $optval ( $NYTPROF =~ /((?:[^\\:]+\|\\.)+)/g) { my ($opt, $val) = $optval =~ /^((?:[^\\=]+\|\\.)+)=((?:[^\\=]+\| +\\.)+)\z/; s/\\(.)/$1/g for $opt, $val;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

That's what I'd missed. It ignores the path for the output file I'd specified, but that's OK, as I found it anyway. Thanks Ted	[reply]

Well :) you used the delimiter character : without escaping it, as part of the filename I imagine `file=C\:/....../` would work	[reply] [d/l]

And while escaping might work, I think it is a bit of a bug (at least a documentation bug) OTOH, if it accepted something standard like JSON the parsing is greatly simplified `export NYTPROF='{"start":"init","file":"C:/..."}'` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
