in reply to Uptime with Win32::GetTickCount()

Since you don't seem interested in fine resolution timing I figure you could get away with: 
my $uptime = time()-$^T;

or check out the docs for the times function.

This way I expect your hardware to wrap over before your script ;-)

    That's not going to help unless the script performing your calculation is run at boot-time and left running always. $BASETIME ($^T) is the time when the script was started not when the system was started.

    Okay you lot, get your wings on the left, halos on the right. It's one size fits all, and "No!", you can't have a different color.
    Pick up your cloud down the end and "Yes" if you get allocated a grey one they are a bit damp under foot, but someone has to get them.
    Get used to the wings fast cos its an 8 hour day...unless the Govenor calls for a cyclone or hurricane, in which case 16 hour shifts are mandatory.
    Just be grateful that you arrived just as the tornado season finished. Them buggers are real work.
