Hi - Check out Time::HiRes - has alarms, high res.
Works fine on *nix boxes, but alarms don't work on Win32 Aloha => Beau. -----Original Message----- From: Greg Oliver [mailto:greg@;algx.net] Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2002 2:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: time references I am writing a program that will do a certain function every 5 seconds. Currently, I am testing the modulus of time() / 5 to do the function in a tight loop, but that seems pretty sloppy to me. Unfortunately, I do not know of any other ways. I have looked through all of the Time:: modules on CPAN. The process I am executing takes ~1 second to run, so after I have the script sleep(3) to cut down on the resources. Is there something simple I am missing here that I could use to do what i want?
