 I know this isn't exactly on topic, but I'm trying to locate items 
related to timing. I need a function which can provide a finer 
granularity than 1 second. I'd like to be to able to mark the current 
time, request a page via the net, and figure out the elapsed time to 
retrieve the page, all in perl of course. Has anyone any ideas how I 
can go about this? Every time related function I've looked at seems 
to be limited to one second. 

 The second issue is a little more open ended. I am concerned that 
if I don't use some sort of delay, I could swamp our server and the 
one I'm requesting files from. I'm sure I need to throttle the requests, 
but am not sure as to the time between requests and what would be 
a reasonable delay. One request per second? One every 5 
seconds? Any thoughts?
