Let's say I have a perl script that goes something like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# glob the list of files
while (defined($nextname = <./*/Recent/*>)) {
...and so on and let's say it deletes a billion files. What's an
effective way of timing the whole thing? This needs to be
ultra-portable so not using any modules is a plus. I started with...
($exectime) = times;
...but I'm not sure that's giving me what I need. I tested up to 7500
files and ne'er more than .01 so I want to make sure I'm getting real
data.
Thoughts?
