this is wall clock time which is not a good measure of code
efficiency. use the Benchmark.pm module (in core perl) which is the
standard way to do this. it measures cpu time, is more accurate, is
easier to use and has many options, features and reporting styles. all
perl hackers should know the benchmark module.
