dprof2calltree

convert perl's DProf profiling data to KCachegrind calltree format

dprof2calltree -f input [ -o output ]

dprof2calltree reads the tmon.out profiling data output by Perl's Devel::DProf profiling package, and converts it into calltree format for use by KCachegrind.

This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.

Specifies the DProf tmon.out file to convert.
Write the calltree output to the given file for use by KCachegrind. If omitted, the output will be written to file of the form cachgrind.out.<input>.

If you run a perl script as:

perl -d:DProf yourscript.pl

then this will write profiling data to tmon.out. You can then work with this data in KCachegrind as follows:

dprof2calltree -f tmin.out -o cachegrind.out.foo
kcachegrind cachegrind.out.foo

kcachegrind(1).
