Hmmm... how about using Time::HiRes to increase precision of $^T (in reasonable cases of course)?!

$^T is set before Time::HiRes can be loaded, so it won't make a difference. $^T is not a magic variable that issues time, it is set when the interpreter starts (which can cause a lot of trouble when running under mod_perl, irssi, or any other long term perl embedder).

Don't use $^T for IDing purposes, use time instead. To update existing scripts (but it might break some that depend on $^T to not change), you could use:

package Tie::Time;
use Carp;
use strict;

sub TIESCALAR { bless \my $dummy, shift }
sub STORE { croak 'Cannot set time this way' }
sub FETCH { time }

=head1 NAME

Tie::Time - Have a scalar return the current time()

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    tie my $time, 'Tie::Time'; # New variable
    tie $^T, 'Tie::Time';      # Override existing $^T

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Guess :)
