Re^2: DBI messes up sleep

[pilcrow]

...you only actually check the time once, in the very first statement in the loop...

No, localtime is called for each of many loop iterations, as you'll see if you inspect the sample output or re-examine (or run) the code.

(I, too, saw the OP's false and misleading "time after sleep" print statement, and initially thought as did you.)

I have to agree with bigmacbear that localtime is only called once per iteration. So the shown behaviour is as expected.
