Hi Barry,
That looks quite neat and Posixy!
Some comments and ideas:
- The sleep command is not used in a POSIX compliant ways, since it gets fed a float here, and in POSIX it can only handle integers. An alternative is maybe to fill the hourglass more or less from the start, depending on the number of minutes / seconds, and compensate the rest with the first sleep command.
- Instead of using awk to cut the first 6 characters you could use "${platform%"${platform#??????}"}" or better yet, replace the if statements with one case statement and use it pattern matching capability CYGWIN*), so you do not need to cut the platform string.
- The awk command substitutions in the 2nd for loop take time and will skew the time slightly. An alternative is to use parameter expansions or predefine the strings so that it does not add as much to the time used by the sleep commands..
- Perhaps you could have a seconds countdown instead of the static number.
- If more time is entered than what the hourglass can handle, graphically turn the hourglass (nice scripting challenge?)

template::timer
Timer(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Timer(3pm)
NAME
Template::Timer - Rudimentary profiling for Template Toolkit
VERSION
Version 1.00
SYNOPSIS
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.
