Re^2: Timing Compile time, or timing 'use'.

When debugging some dynamic loading and fighting UNIVERSAL::require, I found the following very helpful to have at the end of every package:

warn __PACKAGE__ .  " loaded\n";
[download]

which should be combined with your approach to give the timestamps too.

Another approach might be to load a coderef into @INC that turns around and loads all modules while outputting timing information:

perl -MDevel::TimeLoad myprogram.pl
[download]

... but I don't have the time to implement a prototype for that.

There are several packages on my system that have a `warn __PACKAGE__;` at the end as a result of my trying debug some problem or other. Every now and again I'll use one, see the output and get around to removing it. I really like your `Devel::TimeLoad` idea. There are many occasions when such a beast would have be very useful. I've seen references to 'coderefs in @INC' float by over the last year or so, but I've never had occasion to go read up about them. Indeed, off the top of my head I don't know where to look, but I'll find it. Someone will probably beat me to the punch, but if there isn't such a module on cpan by the time I've worked out how/what to do, I'll put my efforts up there. I'd also like to write a `-MO` style shortcut for Devel modules to facilitate their use from the command line, but of the top of my head I haven't a clue if that's possible?

You're looking for -d:YourModule which maps to Devel::YourModule. -MO=YourModule maps to B::YourModule and you probably don't want that. ⠤⠤ ⠙⠊⠕⠞⠁⠇⠑⠧⠊	[reply]
