McDarren,
How can you use 'nano' there? Cause when I followed your suggestion and calling 'nano' it gives me: 
Can't open perl script "nano": No such file or directory.

Nevertheless, without nano it prints the refined results though.

BTW also, what is the difference between time() as used by you versus liverpole's suggestion of using 'tv_interval' and 'gettimeofday'?

    "How can you use 'nano' there?..."

    I think perhaps my example was a little misleading. "nano" is the name of the script, and "foo.pl" is the name of the file being precessed. Think of it instead as: 

    perl nano some_random_file

    [download]
    ..and it should make more sense.

    "..what is the difference between time() as used by you versus liverpole's suggestion of using 'tv_interval' and 'gettimeofday'?"

    Again, rtfm. As far as I can see, there is no real difference. The resolution that you get will be mostly system-dependant.

    Cheers,
    Darren
