time
Returns the number of non-leap seconds since whatever time the system
considers to be the epoch (that's 00:00:00, January 1, 1904 for MacOS,
and 00:00:00
UTC, January 1, 1970 for most other systems).
Suitable for feeding to gmtime and localtime.
For measuring time in better granularity than one second,
you may use either the Time::HiRes module from
CPAN, or
if you have gettimeofday(2), you may be able to use the
syscall interface of Perl, see the perlfaq8 manpage for details.
