For testing, is there a way I can make search.cgi monitor and print the search time on the search results page?

Can this be done in fractions of a second or whole seconds only?

(I'm still on NT if that makes a difference)

This will be quite complicated...since Benchmark.pm does not seem to work very well in NT even with the recent build or Perl installed.

But using the Benchmark.pm module is the way to go...want codes to see how this work? Download DBMAN...this function is included in the script.

Good suggestion...Bmxer. I prefer Benchmark, since it does break down results to milliseconds.

as does Time::HiRes, but they're both good.

Or see if you can successfully install the Time::HiRes Module, which prints just one second value unlike Benchmark, and it is alot cleaner looking. But hard because it requires other modules and i only got it to work once on a windows 32 system.

Thanks, Lavon...I was under the impression that Time:HiRes module only printed second values...good to know.
