This doesn't work on multi-CPU systems.
: cat /proc/interrupts |grep timer
0: 129602418 129428516 IO-APIC-edge timer
You need to sum across all CPUs. A bit more complex:
-------------- snip --------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
$cpus=`grep -c processor /proc/cpuinfo`;
$_=`grep timer /proc/interrupts`; @prev=split();
sleep 10;
$_ =`grep timer /proc/interrupts`; @now =split();
for (1..$cpus) { $prev+=$prev[$_]; $now+=$now[$_]}
printf "%dHz\n", int(($now-$prev)/10);
-------------- snip --------------
