BSD::Itimer 0.8

BSD::Itimer is a Perl extension for accessing interval timers.

SYNOPSIS

 use BSD::Itimer;
 my($interval_sec, $interval_usec, $current_sec, $current_usec) =
 getitimer(ITIMER_REAL);
 my($interval_sec, $interval_usec, $current_sec, $current_usec) =
 setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, $interval_sec, $interval_usec,
 $current_sec, $current_usec));

This module provides access to the interval timers many operating systems provide from perl. Interval timers conceptually have microsecond resolution (hardware typically limits actual granularity), with the ability to reschedule the timer on a fixed repeating interval. There are usually several timers available with a different concept of "time".
