in reply to Benchmarking A DB-Intensive Script

Using Devel::Dprof and dprofpp, which are part of recent Perl distributions, you should find out where your code is slow.

Regarding the database issues, DBI::Profile can find which methods are taking too long (you can look at Speeding up the DBI for suitable examples and tips).

    And when you use Devel::DProf, tell it to report wall time, so you can see the time spent waiting for the database. Otherwise, it just measures CPU, and you get a strange picture in a database-heavy script.
