measure time (hopefully in milliseconds)

I use $^T to measure time (e.g., the time that a person spent on reading a
text).
$^T gives me the running time in seconds. This is good. But I want to have
a more accurae measure of timing (hopefully in miliseconds, or 10 or 100
miliseconds).

Could anyone show me how to measure time in miliseconds (or better than
seconds)?

Thank you

No need to access a website. Type in

perldoc -q "measure time"

from your command prompt.

in your local perl documentation, look up the module Time::HiRes

a good place to start with questions is your locally installed FAQs,
then search this newsgroup for old postings, maybe check CPAN.org then
post a question.
