Subject: Elapsed time -- tiny code snippet

Here's a poor man's profiler -- only good for finding the
time in seconds it took to execute a code block. (I used
this today in a context where I was doing several operations
that invoked external programs and such.)

I put it inside Time just for convenience.


Cheers,
Hal


   class Time
     def self.elapse
       raise "Need block" unless block_given?
       t0 = Time.now
       yield
       Time.now - t0
     end
   end

   secs = Time.elapse { do_something() }
