   1 The following are examples of pl_syscalls.d.

   3 This is a simple script to count executed Perl subroutines and system calls.
   4 Here it traces an example program, Code/Perl/func_abc.pl.

  43 While tracing, three subroutines were called - func_a(), func_b() and func_c().
  44 There were numerous system calls made, including 20 brk()'s, 7 gtime()'s
  45 and 5 llseek()'s.
  46
  47 This script can provide an insight to how an application is interacting
  48 with the system, by providing both application subroutine calls and
  49 system calls in the same output.
