Devel::Profiler 0.03

This module implements a Perl profiler that outputs profiling data in
a format compatible with "dprofpp", Devel::DProf's profile analysis
tool.  It is meant to be a drop-in replacement for Devel::DProf.

NOTE: If Devel::DProf works for your application then there is no
reason to use this module.

CHANGES

  - Added hz option and code to scale output the hz.  This should
    improve speed and smooth discrepencies between the accuracy of
    times() and Time::HiRes.

  - Added ability to pass options to Devel::Profiler::Apache.

  - Allow package_filter to take an array of filters.

  - Fixed bug where Devel::Profiler::Apache would initialize
    Devel::Profiler more than once, resulting in garbled output.

  - Set required Perl version to 5.6.0 rather than 5.6.1.  Testing
    needed.

  - Devel::Profiler::Apache now logs when it opens a new profiler
    output file.

  - Added sub_filter option to allow flexible exclusion of subs.

  - Added Devel::Profiler::Apache to MANIFEST.  Now it will actually
    be incldued in the release!  Thanks Jasper Zhao for the spot.
