Re: Convert time in seconds to hh::mm::ss

[Anonymous Monk]

This works, but i have to do this a lot of times and wonder if there is a faster way, like a single calculation rather than my three here. Thanks for any help.

Did you measure how fast it takes?

See Devel::Profile, and then promptly forget about speeding up parse_duration

No I didn't, that Devel::NYTProf looks one serious module - thanks. I do know how to use Benchmark but would be good if I had some other method to compare this with. Any examples I found wanted to convert to days, hours, etc. but I need to keep to hours only.

edit - Oh, I see what you mean - should be no need to worry, that's good.

If you know how to benchmark, and you know that there's no translation of DST etc involved, why bother doing premature profiling? Unless you're doing this thousands of times per second, I see nothing wrong with this simple sub.

What exactly is the issue here?

- What exactly is the issue here?

This is part of a web app where I call an external API and get back a few hundred results and have to do quite a few conversions. I can't speed up the API call so am looking to improve speed anywhere I can. Just thought this might be a likely candidate.

bah, meant to link Devel::NYTProf
