I assume you want to find out how long a section of the Perl code takes to run. You can do something like: my $startTime = time; my $retVal = subroutineToBeTimed(); print STDERR "Sub took " . ( time - $startTime ) . " seconds to execute.\n"; For finer measurements, see http://perldoc.perl.org/perlfaq8.html#How-can-I-measure-time-under-a-second%3f -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
