Devel::Profiler 0.03

This module implements a Perl profiler that outputs profiling data in a format compatible with "dprofpp", Devel::DProf's profile analysis tool. It is meant to be a drop-in replacement for Devel::DProf.

NOTE: If Devel::DProf works for your application then there is no reason to use this module.

CHANGES

• Added hz option and code to scale output the hz. This should improve speed and smooth discrepencies between the accuracy of times() and Time::HiRes.
• Added ability to pass options to Devel::Profiler::Apache.
• Allow package_filter to take an array of filters.
• Fixed bug where Devel::Profiler::Apache would initialize Devel::Profiler more than once, resulting in garbled output.
• Set required Perl version to 5.6.0 rather than 5.6.1. Testing needed.
• Devel::Profiler::Apache now logs when it opens a new profiler output file.
• Added sub_filter option to allow flexible exclusion of subs.
• Added Devel::Profiler::Apache to MANIFEST. Now it will actually be incldued in the release! Thanks Jasper Zhao for the spot.
