Can someone point me in the right direction or let me know what I'm doing wrong with the below peice of code? I am trying to use Benchmark::timethis to compare two ways of scraping /bin/. Per CPAN's doc page I am using the correct syntax.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Benchmark qw(timethis);
my @bin = glob("/bin/*");
timethis(-2, { one => 'sort { -s $a <=> -s $b } @bin',
two => 'map $_->[0], sort { $a->[1] <=> $b->[1] } map [
+$_, -s $_], @bin'
}
);
Cpan says:
timethese(0, { test1 => '...', test2 => '...'})
Execution:
$ perl thing
usage: $result = timethis($time, 'code' ); or
$result = timethis($time, sub { code } );
What am I missing?
