That loop will take noticably longer than one second, due partly to the unnecessary external command.

MooseX::Role::Timer(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				  MooseX::Role::Timer(3pm)

NAME
MooseX::Role::Timer - Measure times with your object. SYNOPSIS
package Demo; use Moose; # or Any::Moose with 'MooseX::Role::Timer'; sub BUILD { shift->start_timer("build"); } sub do_something { my $self = shift; $self->start_timer("something"); # do something... $self->stop_timer("something"); } package main; my $demo = Demo->new; $demo->do_something; $demo->do_something; printf "%3.6fs ", $demo->elapsed_timer("build"); # time spent since BUILD printf "%3.6fs ", $demo->elapsed_timer("something"); # time spent in sub do_something This Role provides your object with timers, making it easier to keep track of how long whatever actions take. start_timer($name) Start timer $name. stop_timer($name) Stop timer $name. Could be started again to cumulatively measure time. reset_timer($name) Stops timer $name and clears cumulated times for $name. elapsed_timer('name') Return the elapsed time in seconds (cumulated) for timer $name. timer_names Return all timer names.
