# Example using Time::HiRes for benchmarking:
use Time::HiRes qw(time);

my $start_time = time();
# Example code block
for (my $i = 0; $i < 100000; $i++) {
    my $result = $i * 2;  # some operation
}
my $end_time = time();

my $execution_time = $end_time - $start_time;
print "Execution time: $execution_time seconds\n";
