NAME

Bencher::Scenario::IntValidation - Which method of checking for integer is fastest in Perl?

VERSION

This document describes version 0.002 of Bencher::Scenario::IntValidation (from Perl distribution Bencher-Scenario-IntValidation), released on 2017-01-25.

SYNOPSIS

To run benchmark with default option:

 % bencher -m IntValidation

To run module startup overhead benchmark:

 % bencher --module-startup -m IntValidation

For more options (dump scenario, list/include/exclude/add participants, list/include/exclude/add datasets, etc), see bencher or run bencher --help.

DESCRIPTION

Packaging a benchmark script as a Bencher scenario makes it convenient to include/exclude/add participants/datasets (either via CLI or Perl code), send the result to a central repository, among others . See Bencher and bencher (CLI) for more details.

BENCHMARKED MODULES

Version numbers shown below are the versions used when running the sample benchmark.

Scalar::Util::Numeric 0.40

Scalar::Util::Numeric::PP 0.04

BENCHMARK PARTICIPANTS

• regex (perl_code)

  Code template:

   <data> =~ /\A-?[0-9]+\z/

• SUN::isint (perl_code)

  Function call template:

   Scalar::Util::Numeric::isint(<data>)

• SUN::PP::isint (perl_code)

  Function call template:

   Scalar::Util::Numeric::PP::isint(<data>)

BENCHMARK DATASETS

• [0,1,-1,"foo"]
