# [NAME](#NAME)

Test2::Util::Times - Format timing/benchmark information.

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

This modules exports tools for rendering timing data at the end of tests.

# [EXPORTS](#EXPORTS)

All exports are optional. You must specify subs to import.

$str = render\_bench($start, $end, $user, $system, $cuser, $csystem)

$str = render\_bench($start, **time()**, **times()**)

This will produce a string like one of these (Note these numbers are completely made up). *Which string is used depends on the time elapsed.*

```
    0.12345s on wallclock (0.05 usr 0.00 sys + 0.00 cusr 0.00 csys = 0.05 CPU)
    11.1234s on wallclock (0.05 usr 0.00 sys + 0.00 cusr 0.00 csys = 0.05 CPU)
    01m:54.45s on wallclock (0.05 usr 0.00 sys + 0.00 cusr 0.00 csys = 0.05 CPU)
    18h:22m:54.45s on wallclock (0.05 usr 0.00 sys + 0.00 cusr 0.00 csys = 0.05 CPU)
    04d:18h:22m:54.45s on wallclock (0.05 usr 0.00 sys + 0.00 cusr 0.00 csys = 0.05 CPU)
    
```

The first 2 arguments are the $start and $end times in seconds (as returned by time() or Time::HiRes::time()).

The last 4 arguments are timing information as returned by the times() function.
