Wrapping Benchmark.pm to auto-correct custom controls

Last week, in "Monkey-patching Benchmark.pm to auto-correct custom controls", we covered how to monkey-patch Benchmark.pm into giving us the results we wanted, and saw that one alternative method was to wrap the module instead.

This week, we investigate how to do this, and see what unpleasant surprises lie in wait when wrapping a procedural module.

In my previous blog entry, "Advanced Benchmark Analysis I: Yet more white-space trimming", I left you with the thought that our benchmarks changed with changing input.

Seems my previous blog, "Some simple "white-space trim" benchmarks" caught people's attention, and I've received some interesting suggestions and observations worthy of a followup article, this also gives me the chance to delve into explaining more advanced benchmark analysis.

So, deep breath, here goes.
