Benchmark::Timer::Class Version 0.01

This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it
under the same terms as Perl itself. 

This Perl module allows you to determine the elapsed time of all the
method calls to a specified object with minimal editing of your
original program.

For example, if you start with a program such as:

    use TestC;
    use strict;
    my $tc         = new TestC; 
    my $one_var    = $tc->load1();
    my (@two_vars) = $tc->load2();
    $one_var       = $tc->load1();
    @two_vars      = $tc->load2();

and you want to time all the calls, you need only modify the code to
be:

    use Benchmark::Timer::Class;
    use TestC;
    use strict;
    my $tc_original = new TestC;
    my $tc          = new Benchmark::Timer::Class($tc_original);
    my $one_var     = $tc->load1();
    my (@two_vars)  = $tc->load2();
    $one_var        = $tc->load1();
    @two_vars       = $tc->load2();
    $tc->report();

Notice that the only original line of code which needed to be changed was the
call to the constructor of TestC.

The above example exists in the examples subdirectory of the distribution.

To configure this module, cd to the directory that contains this
README file and type the following:

        perl Makefile.PL

Alternatively, if you plan to install Benchmark::Timer::Class
somewhere other than your system's perl library directory. You can
type something like this:

        perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/me/perl INSTALLDIRS=perl

Then to build you run make.

        make

You can then test the module by typing:

        make test

If you have write access to the installation directories, you may then
install by typing:

        make install
