Perl is a scripting language providing rapid development for both text analysis and execution of specific workloads. As such, Klogger includes a Perl modules to simplify both logging of workloads and the analysis of the logs.
When examining the effects of specific workloads on kernel behavior using Klogger, Perl can be used to automatically generate these workloads by running sequences of the needed applications. Afterwards, Perl can serve as a great tool to analyze log files, generate statistics and look for kernel behavioral patterns expressed by the various events.
In order for Perl to load the module, add the directory in which the module resides to the PERL5LIB environment variable.
