Take a look on your system for the perl module `Time::HiRes'. If it
is installed `perldoc Time::HiRes' will pull up its man (pod) page.
Its only a perl interface to existing functions... From Time::HiRes:
[...]
gettimeofday ()
In array context returns a 2 element array with the
seconds and microseconds since the epoch. In scalar
context returns floating seconds like
Time::HiRes::time() (see below).
usleep ( $useconds )
Sleeps for the number of microseconds specified.
Returns the number of microseconds actually slept.
Can sleep for more than one second unlike the usleep
system call. See also Time::HiRes::sleep() below.
[...]
I don't think it came with perl-6.1 but it does with perl-6.8 and you
can get it from CPAN anyway.
