Benchmark::Chart - Plots your Benchmark

VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

Benchmark::Chart plots your Benchmark(s) using Gnuplot. If you are not familiar with module Benchmark, please study that first.

Common usage:

    use Benchmark qw/:all/;
    use Benchmark::Chart qw/plotthese/;
    
    sub createSubs {
        my $x = shift;
        return {
            'x * x' => sub { $x * $x },
            'x ^ 2' => sub { $x**2 },
        };
    }
    
    # functional interface
    my $result = timethese( 20000000, createSubs( 9467443 ), 'none' );
    plotthese(
        options => {
            title  => "My cool benchmark",
            output => "benchmark1.png",
        },
        data => $result
    );
    
    # or if you have more data
    my %inputs = (
        '9999999'               => 9999999,
        '88888888888'           => 88888888888,
        '777777777777777777777' => 777777777777777777777,
    );
    
    my @results;
    for my $k ( keys %inputs ) {
        push @results, { $k => timethese( 20000000, createSubs( $inputs{$k} ), 'none' ) };
    }
    
    plotthese(
        options => {
            title  => "My cool benchmark",
            output => "benchmark2.png",
        },
        data => \@results
