ABSTRACT

Profiles POE programs for useful data

DESCRIPTION

This module profiles POE programs, in the same way the Devel::DProf family of modules do.

Currently, POE::Devel::Profiler will profile the following:

Program start/end
Session create/destruction
alarm_set
delay_set
signal
alias_set
yield/post/call from a session
entering an event ( also includes _default states and failed states )
Garbage Collection on a session

POE::Devel::Profiler will not profile:

Anything not mentioned above :)

NOTES

Compatibility?

This module is currently compatible only with POE::Session, further work will be needed.

POE Options

If you want to set POE options like ASSERT_DEFAULT, it is currently not possible with this module. The only way to do it is to set environment variables or hardcode the following in your program:

sub POE::Kernel::ASSERT_DEFAULT () { 1 }
use POE::Devel::Profiler;
use POE;

Loading POE

POE::Devel::Profiler MUST be loaded before POE or craziness will ensue...

Profiler data

The profile data is stored in the file 'poep.out', don't ask me why :)

To interpret the data, use the program 'poepp' and any Visualizer you want, consult the poepp documentation.
