( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

As with ikegami above, you are running with a very old version (1.2) of Time::HiRes. To get better resolution, you will need to install 1.53 or later. For the purposes of tracking down the bug I think I have found, it would be useful to me if you would perform the following three steps:

  1. Install v1.53 or later (but don't run (n)make test).

    I have a zip that contains the required files for 1.59 I can email if that is more convenient.

  2. Having installed ( but not run the test suite ), re-run the test program from the OP.

    If you immediately see much higher resolution (differences between successive output in 10s of microseconds rather than 100s of milliseconds) results, stop there (but inform me please :).

    My speculation is that an extra step is required beyond just installing and using Time::HiRes (>1.53), in order for the high performance timer code to become enabled.

  3. If you do not immediately see better resolution. /Msg me and I'll give you the program that I think will enable HPC code in T::HR.

The problem with this is that once the HPC code is enabled, I have not been able to revert to the non-enabled state. It appears that some action is required to enable the HPC code, but once it has been enabled it remains enabled across reboots. (I haven't tried a re-install!).

Thanks for your help.

The "good enough" maybe good enough for the now, and perfection maybe unobtainable, but that should not preclude us from striving for perfection, when time, circumstance or desire allow.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
