With MacPerl 5.6.1 (now in beta 2), you can use Time::HiRes, which gives you microseconds (also, Time::HiRes is available for the other platforms too, and is going to be included in perl 5.8). You can then convert microseconds to milliseconds. -- Chris Nandor [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pudge.net/ Open Source Development Network [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://osdn.com/
