    Acme::Time::Constant - Run any code in constant time.

VERSION
    version 0.001002

SYNOPSIS
    This code contains within it, the golden calf of computer science: The
    ability to execute any code in constant time.

      use Acme::Time::Constant qw( constant_time );

      my $timestamp = time;

      constant_time( '1' =&gt; sub {
        for ( 0 .. 10 ) { }
      } );

      print $timestamp - time;  # 1 second

      constant_time( '1' =&gt; sub {
        for ( 0 .. 10_000_000 ) { }
      } );

      print $timestamp - time; # 2 seconds

BUGS
   General relativity does not hold in the context of this code.
    As such, observed time may differ greatly from the time relative to the
    execution of this code.

    Workaround: Get closer to the speed of light.

   Measurements may not be exactly constant.
    But Big O is OK with this. We care not that X takes 1.1 seconds and Y
    takes 1.2 seconds, as long as the variation is not subject to the size
    of Y or X.

    Random variation between 0.5 and 1.5 seconds is thus within the range of
    "constant".

    Workaround: Imbibe a minimum of 1 Litre
    &lt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litre&gt; of your favourite neurotoxic
    substance before attempting to code.

   Time::HiRes cannot be trusted.
    "Time::HiRes" is under the influence of the Illuminati and as such is
    part of a conspiracy to prevent us from experiencing supernormal time.

    Using "Time::HiRes" in your code will subsequently give the illusion
    that the code no longer executes in constant time.

    It is wrong. The constant time is simply functioning on an alternative
    timeline which the Illuminati seek to repress knowledge of.

    One may note that this module depends on "Time::HiRes", but this is
    simply our devilish tactic to make the conspirators think we're
    willingly playing for them. You know better. ;)
