in reply to sleep() VS Win32::sleep()

Fairly safe to say that they both 'hand off' the cpu for the duration. The benchmark as run proves little else of course. I'll leave comparing their efficiency/accuracy AAEFTR.

#! perl -w use strict; use Win32; use Benchmark; timethese ( 100, { 'Win32' => ' sleep 1', 'Std' => ' Win32::Sleep 1000' , } ); __DATA__ # output C:\test>183845 Benchmark: timing 100 iterations of Std, Win32... Std: 100 wallclock secs ( 0.00 usr + 0.00 sys = 0.00 CPU) (warning: too few iterations for a reliable count) Win32: 100 wallclock secs ( 0.00 usr + 0.00 sys = 0.00 CPU) (warning: too few iterations for a reliable count)

A quick 'deco' at the task manager whilst either sleep is in 'progress' shows that they are fairly obviously doing 'nothing'! :^)
