I didn't check my own module after seeing your first attempt. It's actually use Time::TimeTick; as in the synopsis at http://search.cpan.org/~pjs/Time-TimeTick-0.04/lib/Time/TimeTick.pm#SYNOPSIS . > ps.

I was just installing TWiki, for instance, which is written in Perl and uses many CPAN modules. It comes with the ones that it needs, unpacks them into its own directory, and directs its scripts to look in that directory. -- Peter Scott http://www.perlmedic.com/ http://www.perldebugged.com/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
