What is libbenchmark-progressbar-perl
libbenchmark-progressbar-perl is:
Benchmark::ProgressBar is a combination of Benchmark and Term::ProgressBar that produces a simple progress bar illustrating execution of benchmark runs. As such, it is particularly useful for heavy benchmarking tests that take a long time to complete.
You can use it as a drop-in replacement for Benchmark, but the only functions that would display a progress bar are: cmpthese, timethese and timeit.
