=head1 NAME

Dumbbench::Instance::PerlSub - Benchmarks a Perl code reference

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Dumbbench;
  
  my $bench = Dumbbench->new(
    target_rel_precision => 0.005, # seek ~0.5%
    initial_runs         => 20,    # the higher the more reliable
  );
  $bench->add_instances(
    Dumbbench::Instance::PerlSub->new(name => 'mauve', code => sub {...}), 
    # ... more things to benchmark ...
  );
  $bench->run();
  # ...

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class inherits from L<Dumbbench::Instance> and implements
benchmarking of Perl code references.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new

Constructor that takes named arguments.

In addition to the properties of the base class, the
C<Dumbbench::Instance::PerlSub> constructor requires a
C<code> parameter. The C<code> needs to be subroutine reference.

Optionally, you can provide a C<dry_run_code> option.
It has the same structure and purpose as the C<code>
option, but it is used for the dry-runs. By default, an empty sub
is used for this, so it's unlikely you will need the dry-run
unless you want to strip out some particular overhead.

=head2 code

Returns the code string that was set during construction.

=head2 dry_run_code

Returns the dry-run code string that was set during construction.
