It's the OK at the end of this snip, isn't it? select(OUT); my $start = time; $got = timethis(-2, sub {$foo+= fib($ballast)}, $title, 'none'); my $end = time; select(STDOUT); isa_ok($got, 'Benchmark', "timethis, at least 2 seconds with format 'none'"); ok ($foo > 0, "benchmarked code was run"); ok ($end - $start > 1, "benchmarked code ran for over 1 second"); In which case, -2 meant that it should run for 2 seconds, so something is going wonky if that failed.
