There's a method provided by Time::HiRes called 'interval' or the like which might give you nicer output. At least it saves you the subtraction. Using a profiler is not always better; it depends on what the program does. With time intervals this small, it's probably better. -- "Didn't work" is an error. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
