Re^4: Interpreting Benchmark 'cmpthese' and 'timethese'

Dear rhesa,

You could run the benchmark for, say, 2000 iterations instead of for 5 seconds.

How do you do that? Because in the example I always see that they use negative value for $count.

 timethese($count, {
        'Name1' => sub { ...code1... },
        'Name2' => sub { ...code2... },
    });

What value should I pass for $count here?

As holli put it so succinctly, make `$count` positive to ask for a number of iterations. That is, `$count = 2000` would do the trick.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
