Hello friends,

Over the last 7 or so months I have worked with a very small team to build a performance monitor for the modern Perl web-application ecosystem. As of today, the project is now available to everyone via the free-tier only, later however, (a month or so) we will be opening up our priced tiers to business users who will most likely need more from the application.

Please feel free to check it out, and I look forward to hearing feedback!

From a discussion on Hacker News:

One particulary mnemonic collection of switches is -plane: perl -plane 'my $script'. -n and -p are mutually exclusive, but as -p overrides -n, it is easier to just remove -p if necessary.

Few other users in another discussion there mentioned -E -n -l -p options especially useful.

Is there anything really cool about -plane or -Enlp? Are they really somewhat a "Holy Grail" of running Perl scripts from the command line, and why?

I thought I had seen somethink about this, but does Perl reserve a block of memory upon startup for user variables? Or are user variables always allocated when they are created/initialized with Newx, Newxz ?
From some benchmarks it seems that Perl does set some memory aside to avoid requesting memory from the OS all the time, and I thought I had seen some material about how to modify this "scratch space" but I could be very wrong or senile.
