NAME
       Log::Log4perl::Util::TimeTracker - Track time elapsed

SYNOPSIS
         use Log::Log4perl::Util::TimeTracker;

         my $timer = Log::Log4perl::Util::TimeTracker->new();

           # equivalent to Time::HiRes::gettimeofday(), regardless
           # if Time::HiRes is present or not.
         my($seconds, $microseconds) = $timer->gettimeofday();

           # reset internal timer
         $timer->reset();

           # return milliseconds since last reset
         $msecs = $timer->milliseconds();

           # return milliseconds since last call
         $msecs = $timer->delta_milliseconds();

DESCRIPTION
       This utility module helps tracking time elapsed for PatternLayout's date and time
       placeholders. Its accuracy depends on the availability of the Time::HiRes module. If it's
       available, its granularity is milliseconds, if not, seconds.

       The most common use of this module is calling the gettimeofday() method:

         my($seconds, $microseconds) = $timer->gettimeofday();

       It returns seconds and microseconds of the current epoch time. If Time::HiRes is
       installed, it will simply defer to its gettimeofday() function, if it's missing, time()
       will be called instead and $microseconds will always be 0.

       To measure time elapsed in milliseconds, use the reset() method to reset the timer to the
       current time, followed by one or more calls to the milliseconds() method:

           # reset internal timer
         $timer->reset();

           # return milliseconds since last reset
         $msecs = $timer->milliseconds();

       On top of the time span between the last reset and the current time, the module keeps
       track of the time between calls to delta_milliseconds():

         $msecs = $timer->delta_milliseconds();

       On the first call, this will return the number of milliseconds since the last reset(), on
       subsequent calls, it will return the time elapsed in milliseconds since the last call to
       delta_milliseconds() instead. Note that reset() also resets the time of the last call.

       The internal timer of this module gets its time input from the POSIX time() function, or,
       if the Time::HiRes module is available, from its gettimeofday() function. To figure out
       which one it is, use

           if( $timer->hires_available() ) {
               print "Hooray, we get real milliseconds!\n";
           } else {
               print "Milliseconds are just bogus\n";
           }

       For testing purposes, a different time source can be provided, so test suites can simulate
       time passing by without actually having to wait:

         my $start_time = time();

         my $timer = Log::Log4perl::Util::TimeTracker->new(
                 time_function => sub {
                     return $start_time++;
                 },
         );

       Every call to $timer->epoch() will then return a time value that is one second ahead of
       the value returned on the previous call. This also means that every call to
       delta_milliseconds() will return a value that exceeds the value returned on the previous
       call by 1000.
