Experts,
I have the following output from Benchmark's time diff. The problem I have is that as the wallclock is represented in seconds it is very hard to understand.
Counted 900285 lines It took 6245 wallclock secs ( 6242.69 usr + 1.87 sys = 6244.56 CPU)
The result above is generated with this code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use Benchmark; my $start_time = new Benchmark; $line++ while (<>); # Count number of lines in the file(s) my $end_time = new Benchmark; my $difference = timediff($end_time, $start_time); print ("Counted $line lines\n"); print ("It took ", timestr($difference), "\n");
How can I convert the wallclock seconds above into a more understandable output format? Namely from seconds into hours and minute.
