in reply to Benchmark.pm: Does subroutine testing order bias results?
I think that you and others have done a good job of documenting that it can.
As a suggestion, it might be feasible to patch Benchmark.pm to get around this issue. Any change you make will produce a different set of results, and it's hard to say which one is "correct", but in practical terms one or another of these modes might help in investigating a specific timing issue developers sometimes encounter:
Update: I implemented the second of these ideas as Exporter::Forking.
