It is a bit more work, but you can also write two comparison scripts and do several runs each with Devel::DProf, which is a core module.

However, nothing stops you from putting Perl on your personal laptop, installing the modules, and writing a little benchmark test with some sample conditions. Don't use the federal test data of course! For various tips on installing CPAN, see Yes, even you can use CPAN.

In either case, make sure you do several runs of each. When profiling there can be a wide variance in the results depending on what other system/app processes just happen to be running on your computer at the same time.

Best, beth
