Re^2: Calculating time between two events in a log.

Thanks Ken, and sorry to everyone about my bad post format I have cleaned it up. Your example would work great but I am limited in what modules I can use and Timepiece is not one of them. I should have clarified that. Additionally, the time could be measured in milliseconds or seconds. I am trying to report on the delay which sometime creeps upwards of 30 seconds or more. Any other ideas are welcome, and thanks in advance!

"Your example would work great but I am limited in what modules I can use and Timepiece is not one of them. I should have clarified that." You still can clarify that with an update to your OP explaining the constraints you're working under. I have no idea whether: this is schoolwork and you need to demonstrate that you understand date/time manipulation you didn't know that Time::Piece (builtin) has been included with Perl since version 5.10.0 you have a version of Perl prior to 5.10.0 and have some restriction on using CPAN you were unaware that you could install Time::Piece from CPAN there is some other limitation involved For future reference, please consider including this type of information when you first post. While we're happy to help, we don't really like hearing: "Your solution is useless to me because of something I'm not telling you about.". -- Ken	[reply]
