Hi Rob,
Hmmmm, true -- I may be adding and adding code unnecessarily...
What the forked process does is run a C++ program and it is that program
that needs to be timed. Would the code below accomplish that? I mean,
having "times" in the Perl script that calls that C++ program will give
the user time of that (spawned) Perl process. But that is a close
enough estimation of the C++ program's user time provided all I do is
run that program?
Also, this is within modperl/mason and I would like the parent process
to be completely detached from the child (so that a web page can be
shown) and not care when the child completes...

use strict;
use warnings;
my $kid = fork;
if ($kid) {
print "in parent whose kid is $kid\n";
}
elsif ($kid == 0) {
print "In child\n";
my ($usertime) = times;
print "$usertime seconds\n";
}
else {
die "Cannot fork: $!\n";
}
