-Description: Powerful feature-rich perl source code profiler
- Powerful feature-rich perl source code profiler
+Description: perl source code profiler
+ Devel::NYTProf is a powerful feature-rich perl source code profiler.
  .
- This description was automagically extracted from the module by dh-make-perl.
+ NYTProf stands for 'New York Times Profiler'. Indeed, this module was
+ initially developed from Devel::FastProf by The New York Times Co. to help
+ their developers quickly identify bottlenecks in large Perl applications.
+ .
+  * Performs per-line statement profiling for fine detail
+  * Performs per-subroutine statement profiling for overview
+  * Performs per-block statement profiling (the first profiler to do so)
+  * Accounts correctly for time spent after calls return
+  * Performs inclusive and exclusive timing of subroutines
+  * Subroutine times are per calling location (a powerful feature)
+  * Can profile compile-time activity, just run-time, or just END time
+  * Uses novel techniques for efficient profiling
+  * Sub-microsecond (100ns) resolution on systems with clock_gettime()
+  * Very fast - the fastest statement and subroutine profilers for
+    perl
+  * Handles applications that fork, with no performance cost
+  * Immune from noise caused by profiling overheads and I/O
+  * Program being profiled can stop/start the profiler
+  * Generates richly annotated and cross-linked html reports
+  * Trivial to use with mod_perl - add one line to httpd.conf
+  * Includes an extensive test suite
+  * Tested on very large codebases
