in thread Problem while installing module from CPAN on windows.

Benchmark is part of the perl core, it's name gives you a good idea what it's going to do. Speedometer on the other hand, doesn't suggest that it will basically just call Benchmark. Perhaps I am missing the point of Speedometer, but your documentation (as of v1.06, currently live on cpan) doesn't look complete. What advantage does it have over using the exiting core functionality?

"Sorry, i couldn't find better name than this as this also fits to the bill."

You were provided with various places to ask if you were unsure.

    Marto, i have deleted version 1.06 , it will take a while to delete from CPAN.

    The advantage of Speedometer is that when you got to Perl files you can directly use that, where Benchmark doesn't allow you to use Perl files directly you have to copy and paste code there

    when you have large code to compare , you will prefer that code to put in Perl file and you just have to go like this

    use Speedometer;

    speedometer("file1","file2"); # that's it.

    With the name i have clearly mentioned that, it is interface to the Benchmark module, so people should not get confused about it

    in Readme also i have described it, what it does and how to use it

    .

    Thanks

      You've forgotten to login again. I don't agree that Speedometer is a good name for this module it does not fit any of the naming convetions or logic layed out in the examples you've been given links to, or reflect what a speedometer does. I think you've totally missed the points made about naming.

      Also to use this I have to write a script which uses your module, why not just make your tool the script? None of this seems make life any easier. Did you read any of tyes posts on the subject of Benchmark? None of this seems any easier to me. Also your Changes file is still wrong, and your POD is not formatted correctly.
