NAME
    App::BencherUtils - Utilities related to bencher

VERSION
    This document describes version 0.245 of App::BencherUtils (from Perl
    distribution App-BencherUtils), released on 2022-08-24.

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
    This distribution includes several utilities:

    *   bencher-code

    *   bencher-for

    *   bencher-module-startup-overhead

    *   chart-bencher-result

    *   cleanup-old-bencher-results

    *   format-bencher-result

    *   gen-bencher-scenario-from-cpanmodules

    *   list-bencher-results

    *   list-bencher-scenario-modules

FUNCTIONS
  bencher_code
    Usage:

     bencher_code(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

    Accept a list of codes and perform benchmark.

    % bencher-code 'code1' 'code2'

    is basically a shortcut for creating a scenario like this:

     {
         participants => [
             {code_template=>'code1'},
             {code_template=>'code2'},
         ],
     }

    and running that scenario with "bencher".

    This function is not exported.

    Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

    *   codes* => *array[str]*

    *   precision => *float*

    *   startup => *bool* (default: 0)

        Use code_startup mode instead of normal benchmark.

    *   with_process_size => *bool*

    Returns an enveloped result (an array).

    First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status
    code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second
    element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something
    like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual
    result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error
    response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is
    called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra
    information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional
    metadata.

    Return value: (any)

  bencher_for
    Usage:

     bencher_for(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

    List distributions that benchmarks specified modules.

    This utility consults lcpan (local indexed CPAN mirror) to check if
    there are distributions that benchmarks a specified module. This is done
    by checking the presence of a dependency with the relationship
    "x_benchmarks".

    This function is not exported.

    Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

    *   modules* => *array[perl::modname]*

    Returns an enveloped result (an array).

    First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status
    code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second
    element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something
    like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual
    result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error
    response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is
    called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra
    information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional
    metadata.

    Return value: (any)

  bencher_module_startup_overhead
    Usage:

     bencher_module_startup_overhead(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

    Accept a list of module names and perform startup overhead benchmark.

    % bencher-module-startup-overhead Mod1 Mod2 Mod3

    is basically a shortcut for creating a scenario like this:

     {
         module_startup => 1,
         participants => [
             {module=>"Mod1"},
             {module=>"Mod2"},
             {module=>"Mod3"},
         ],
     }

    and running that scenario with "bencher".

    To specify import arguments, you can use:

     % bencher-module-startup-overhead Mod1 Mod2=arg1,arg2

    which will translate to this Bencher scenario:

     {
         module_startup => 1,
         participants => [
             {module=>"Mod1"},
             {module=>"Mod2", import_args=>'arg1,arg2'},
         ],
     }

    This function is not exported.

    Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

    *   modules* => *array[perl::modargs]*

    *   with_process_size => *bool*

    Returns an enveloped result (an array).

    First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status
    code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second
    element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something
    like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual
    result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error
    response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is
    called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra
    information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional
    metadata.

    Return value: (any)

  chart_bencher_result
    Usage:

     chart_bencher_result(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

    Generate chart of bencher result and display it.

    Returns an enveloped result (an array).

    First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status
    code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second

  cleanup_old_bencher_results
    Usage:

     cleanup_old_bencher_results(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

    Delete old results.

    By default it will only keep 1 latest result for each scenario for the
    same CPU and the same module versions.

    You can use "--dry-run" first to see which files would be deleted
    without actually deleting them.

    This function is not exported.

    This function supports dry-run operation.

    Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

    *   detail => *bool*

    *   num_keep => *int* (default: 0)

        Number of old results to keep.

    *   query => *array[str]*

CONTRIBUTING
    To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull
    requests on GitHub.

    Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You
    can simply modify the code, then test via:

     % prove -l

    If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally
    on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla,
    Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR,
    Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two
    other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps
    required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
