startup-unix.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl

#
# Script to time mozilla startup.
# Feeds in start time as url argument, startup-test.html
# takes this arg and computes the time difference.
# So something like this happens:
#
# mozilla file:/foo/startup-test.html?begin=T
#   where T = ms since 1970, e.g.:
# mozilla file:/foo/startup-test.html?begin=999456977124
# 
# NOTE: You will get much better results if you install the
# Time::HiRes perl module (urls in gettime.pl) and test
# an optimized build.
#
# For optimized builds, startup-test.html will also dump
# the time out to stdout if you set:
#   user_pref("browser.dom.window.dump.enabled", true);
#
