in reply to negative elapsed time?

I don't get any negative or zero results running your script under AS1007/Vista: 

C:\test>junk14

Starting loop

End of loop

C:\test>perl -MTime::HiRes -E"say $Time::HiRes::VERSION"
1.9719

What versions are you running?

      Hm. I don't see any problems using 5.14 either: 

      C:\perl5.14-64\bin>.\perl.exe \test\junk14.pl
