[time-nuts] Slightly off-topic: How to take measurements atfixed intervals in Perl

[Didier Juges]

This is a very nice thread, in 2 days, I got two very useful utilities :-)
Thanks Tom and John!

I tried Tom's alarm utility while AVG was doing a virus scan on my computer.
This normally slows everything down quite significantly, but alarm kept
ticking regularly and the CPU utilisation of "alarm" never moved higher than
0. I like it.

Under Unix/Linux, the alarm utility is a nice bridge between a simple
sleep() and a cron job.

Thanks again,

Didier KO4BB
