I’m timing sub routines to get an idea of where my scripts spend the 
most of their time.  This is an example of what I’m doing:

use Time::HiRes qw( clock );
my $clock0 = clock();
... # Do something.
my $clock1 = clock();
my $clockd = $clock1 - $clock0;

        I’m getting values like $clock1 = 0.030259 and $clock0 = 0.030212.  
However, instead of $clockd being 0.000047, it’s returning 
4.70000000000019e-05.  I take it that’s exponential notation (?) but it’s 
actually more difficult to read than the regular number.  Is there a way to get 
it to print out differently?

Thanks,
Frank
