Template::Timer3pm

Template::Timer provides inline timings of the template processing througout your code. It's an overridden version of Template::Context that wraps the "process()" and "include()" methods.

Using Template::Timer is simple.

    use Template::Timer;
    my %config = ( # Whatever your config is
        INCLUDE_PATH    => '/my/template/path',
        COMPILE_EXT     => '.ttc',
        COMPILE_DIR     => '/tmp/tt',
    );
    if ( $development_mode ) {
        $config{ CONTEXT } = Template::Timer->new( %config );
    }
    my $template = Template->new( \%config );

Now when you process templates, HTML comments will get embedded in your output, which you can easily grep for. The nesting level is also shown.

    <!-- TIMER START: L1 process mainmenu/mainmenu.ttml -->
    <!-- TIMER START: L2 include mainmenu/cssindex.tt -->
    <!-- TIMER START: L3 process mainmenu/cssindex.tt -->
    <!-- TIMER END:   L3 process mainmenu/cssindex.tt (17.279 ms) -->
    <!-- TIMER END:   L2 include mainmenu/cssindex.tt (17.401 ms) -->
    ....
    <!-- TIMER END:   L3 process mainmenu/footer.tt (3.016 ms) -->
    <!-- TIMER END:   L2 include mainmenu/footer.tt (3.104 ms) -->
    <!-- TIMER END:   L1 process mainmenu/mainmenu.ttml (400.409 ms) -->

Note that since INCLUDE is a wrapper around PROCESS, calls to INCLUDEs will be doubled up, and slightly longer than the PROCESS call.
