How To Fix nytprofpf: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu nytprofpf is provided by libdevel-nytprof-perl package.

libdevel-nytprof-perl is:

Devel::NYTProf is a powerful feature-rich perl source code profiler.

  • Performs per-line statement profiling for fine detail
  • Performs per-subroutine statement profiling for overview
  • Performs per-block statement profiling (the first profiler to do so)
  • Accounts correctly for time spent after calls return
  • Performs inclusive and exclusive timing of subroutines
  • Subroutine times are per calling location (a powerful feature)
  • Can profile compile-time activity, just run-time, or just END time
  • Uses novel techniques for efficient profiling
  • Sub-microsecond (100ns) resolution on systems with clock_gettime()
  • Very fast - the fastest statement and subroutine profilers for perl
  • Handles applications that fork, with no performance cost
  • Immune from noise caused by profiling overheads and I/O
  • Program being profiled can stop/start the profiler
  • Generates richly annotated and cross-linked html reports
  • Trivial to use with mod_perl - add one line to httpd.conf
  • Includes an extensive test suite
  • Tested on very large codebases

NYTProf is effectively two profilers in one: a statement profiler, and a subroutine profiler.

NYTProf stands for ‘New York Times Profiler’. Indeed, this module was initially developed from Devel::FastProf by The New York Times Co. to help their developers quickly identify bottlenecks in large Perl applications.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.
