NAME

Template::Timer - Rudimentary profiling for Template Toolkit

VERSION

Version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

Template::Timer provides inline timings of the template processing througout your code. It's an overridden version of Template::Context that wraps the CWprocess() and CWinclude() methods.

Using Template::Timer is simple. 

    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. 

    <!-- TIMER START: process mainmenu/mainmenu.ttml -->
    <!-- TIMER START: include mainmenu/cssindex.tt -->
    <!-- TIMER START: process mainmenu/cssindex.tt -->
    <!-- TIMER END: process mainmenu/cssindex.tt (0.017279 seconds) -->
    <!-- TIMER END: include mainmenu/cssindex.tt (0.017401 seconds) -->

.... 

    <!-- TIMER END: process mainmenu/footer.tt (0.003016 seconds) -->
    <!-- TIMER END: include mainmenu/footer.tt (0.003104 seconds) -->
    <!-- TIMER END: process mainmenu/mainmenu.ttml (0.400409 seconds) -->

Note that since INCLUDE is a wrapper around PROCESS, calls to INCLUDEs will be doubled up, and slightly longer than the PROCESS call.
