All, Thanks for the recent help with PERL programming!
I have another need for which I think you can help me. I am working with one of our Oracle developers here to create a script (to run at command line) that will attach to an Oracle database over a WAN and execute a query. I want to use PERL to call this script, and time how long it takes from beginning to end...stuffing that data into an RRD. To do this, I will have to follow a procedure something like this: capture current time (begin) execute database script capture current time (end) subtract begin from end to get elapsed time stuff elapsed time into the RRD My question is this: How small of a time increment is PERL capable of measuring in? This will only work if PERL can measure small enough increments, so that the difference between one running of the program and the next can be seen. I have the program for doing the PINGs up and running. We want to compare the graphs of the PINGs and the program I'm working on now to see if the peaks correspond, or if they occur at different times.
