How to Profile Perl Script (bugzilla performance issue)

[Paul]

Hi,

When I try to add a new bug or update an exisiting bug's status, it
takes *over 2 minutes* before the page is updated. Doing a 'ps' gives:

USER PID %CPU %MEM SZ RSS TTY STAT STIME TIME COMMAND
root 516 98.8 9.0 8 11128 - A May 04 18644:41 wait
nobody 17594 66.7 6.0 8240 8436 - A 13:30:05 0:02 perl -wT
../processmail -forceowner (e-mail address removed) -forceqac
nobody 16966 33.3 7.0 8488 8684 - A 13:30:02 0:02 perl -wT
/opt/freeware/apache/share/htdocs/bugs/post_bug.cgi

Does anyone have any idea why it might be taking so long? Is there a
way I can profile the above 2 perl scripts to see why it's taking so
long to run?

Platform is:
IBM RS/6000 Model 43P (7042/7043)
CPU Type: PowerPC_604
CPU Clock Speed: 199 MHz
Memory Size: 128 MB
OS: AIX 5.1

Apache 1.3.27
MySQL 3.23.47

Thanks,

Paul
