Thanks, this is really helpful. In addition, is there a way to print
the cpu cycles taken from *ux command prompt?
I have worked with tools that, at the end of their job, print out the
cpu cycles it took for them.
I would assume that they use some command from *ux to do this.

The time command in UNIX will give you the amount of time the program
took to run, the amount of cpu time the program took to run, and the
amount of time spent on system overhead:
time ./q.pl
real 0m0.013s
user 0m0.007s
sys 0m0.006s
Or you could use the times() function built in to Perl.
perldoc -f times
