hello, I am trying to pass a duration time for running a series of tests to a cleanup subroutine. I am running a loop of different tests (sub run_test)and documenting the duration for each test ran within sub run_tests. I am getting the correct time for each. My problem is trying to pass the same duration time to a cleanup subroutine (sub cleanup_test), which happens after all the tests are completed. below are the 2 subroutines:

 
sub run_test{

    my ($self, @tests) = @_;
    
    # Setup test system.
    $self->_setup_test_system();

    # Run each test.
    TEST:
    for my $test_name (@tests) {

    # Setup everything necessary for current test.
    $self->setup_test_system($test_name);

    # Run each testcase for current test.
    TESTCASE:

    while ($self->__fetch_next()){              
    my $start = gettimeofday();
    my $is_pass = $self->_run_testcase();
    my $end = gettimeofday();
    my $duration =  $end - $start; 
    if (!$is_pass && $self->{_abort_on_failure}) {              
     print "\nFailure occurred,for $test_name.\n";
     last TESTCASE;   # Exit loop
    } 
}

I would like to pass my $duration to this cleanup subroutine:

sub cleanup_test{
  my ($self, $result) = @_;
    
  # Update statistics
  $self->{_test_statistics}{num_tests}++;
  if ($result == 0) {
  $self->{_test_statistics}{num_tests_failed}++;
  }
  # Log testcase result and return
  log_testcase($self->{_test_name}, $self->{_testcase_name}, $self->{_
+test_statistics}{num_tests_failed}, $duration, $self->{_log_file});

I can't get the duration time from (sub run_test) to (sub cleanup_test). What am I missing? Thanks for reading
