This module lets perl keep a count of each internal operation in a program so that you can profile your Perl code. CHANGES 0.2 13 Aug 1998 New since 0.1 Prepended PL_ to global variables which need it for 5.005. Tweaked runops_opprof to use CALLOP (for PERL_OBJECT). 0.1 10 Dec 1997 Initial release for Perl development version 5.004_50. INSTALLATION You need Perl 5.005 or later. This module makes use of the dynamic runops feature included in Perl 5.005--earlier versions of Perl will not suffice.
