It's how much CPU time the process has used (in seconds, I assume). 'User' time is how much time was spent in the program itself and 'system' time is how much time was spent in the operating system servicing the program's requests.
Update: Upon further reflection, I don't think that time is in seconds. Proc::ProcessTable::Process says that utime is in 1/100s of seconds, so that's probably what time is in too. Your 120000 figure is 33 hours as seconds and 20 minutes as 1/100s of seconds. If you're still in doubt, you could see what it says about "perl -e '$i++ while 1'" after ten seconds. My guess is it will be about 1000.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
