 ====== Measure execution time ======
-The benefit of using a standard programming language such as Perl is that one can use standard libraries for basic needs. Here is an example showing how to benchmark two different convex hull algorithms/codes on the same example.
+The benefit of using a standard programming language such as Perl is that one can use standard libraries for basic needs. For example, one can measure the runtime/execution time of a sequence of commands. Here is an example showing how to benchmark two different convex hull algorithms/codes on the same example.
 <code>
 use Benchmark qw(:all);
