Hi, has anyone used the timeofday function in Time::Hires on Win32? The reason I ask is that I am repeatedly getting and printing the microseconds: @thetime = timeofday; print $thetime[1]; The microseconds only have a millisecond componant, so they are of the range 000000 to 999000 (the last three digits are always zero). I understand this might be a limit of the granularity of the Win32 implementation, but if someone could confirm this, it would be cool. Milliseconds is fine for my uses. My problem comes from the fact that the microsecond count does not increase consistantly. If I loop around the above code, it produces the same value for say 10 iterations, and then will jump to a higher number and repeat that for 10 iterations, rather than increasing each loop, or increasing the same amount each loop. So the output at the crossover point would be like: 718000 718000 718000 718000 734000 734000 734000 See, a sudden increase of 16000 us in the middle of the same loop. Can anyone explain this?
