Compare functions in two versions of a CPAN distro

Does there exist already a program to compare the performance of a function between two different versions of the CPAN distribution? I have uploaded List-Compare-0.40 to CPAN. The changes from 0.39 should improve the performance of several functions. The actual code changes are deep inside helper functions. I have benchmarked the differences between the 0.39 and 0.40 versions of those helper functions by extracting them into a separate Perl program using Benchmark. But I would like to be able to measure and display the difference at the API level. I suspect that with effort I could write such a program, but it sounds like the sort of thing that someone on cpan.workers would already have written. Suggestions? Thank you very much. Jim Keenan
