I'm tracking execution time of a bunch of scripts, and want to drop in "tracker.pl" into each script...the problem I'm faced with is if a user walks away from their computer while the script is waiting for input from STDIN.
I currently wrap any <STDIN> reads within the tools like: pauseTimer(); ...read from <STDIN>.. unpauseTimer(); This is so I can subtract out the weight time (in seconds) from the overall elapsed execution time. Is it possible to trigger these two pause/unpauseTimer() sub routines automatically from my library when STDIN is read? similar to how BEGIN/END blocks work, but with PRE-STDIN, POST-STDIN functionality?
