use Time::HiRes qw(time);
This will give you a floating point time function instead of integer seconds.
In the current program you will have to type a really long line so that the division errors like 4.9 seconds which will sometimes be 4 seconds and sometimes be 5 seconds which will cause a 25% change in your typing WPM.
The floating poing time function will fix this up since the steps will be on the order of 0.01 seconds rather than 1 second which will improve the granularity of your estimate 100 times so that a one step change from 4.99 to 5.00 will result in a 0.25% change in the WPM figure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
