Esteemed monks,
I have a very bad piece of code that takes 2-3 minutes to compile! Can I have some sort of compilation profiling? I tried "Autotrace" option of PERLDB_OPTS. It gives you list of all statements executed, but doesn't tell how much time was spent on each of them.
I also tried Devel::Modlist, which can tell most of the .pm files parsed at compilation - but again no mention of the time taken.
Ideally, if I could get the list of the modules that are compiled, how many times they are parsed and the time taken for their compilation - that would help me nail down the exact set of modules that need to be rewritten to reduce my compilation time.

I'm new to perl as such, so please forgive in case I missed something.

thanks in advance!
