Time::HiRes module: High resolution time, sleep, and alarm. Implement usleep, ualarm, and gettimeofday for Perl, as well as wrappers to implement time, sleep, and alarm that know about non-integral seconds. If your underlying operating system doesn't implement ualarm() the corresponding Perl function will not be available. If the OS is missing usleep, a fake one using select() will be made. If the OS is missing gettimeofday, you will get unresolved externals, wither at link- or run-time. This is an improvement; the package used to not even build if you were missing any of these bits. Roderick Schertler did all the conditional compilation stuff, look at HiRes.pm and the test suites; it's good educational reading. POD documentation is embedded. Copyright (c) 1996 Douglas E.
