Sorry, but none of this is really true. Time::HiRes gives you the best time resolution on Win32, regardless of the underlying processor. It also has nothing to do with 32 vs. 64 bits, as Time::HiRes uses Windows performance counters, and they are already 64 bits even on 32 bit CPUs. The fact that ualarm() isn't supported has nothing to do with the precision but more with the fact that alarm() doesn't really work on Windows. It doesn't interrupt C code or system calls but waits until Perl polls a messageloop to see if a timer has expired.
