It appears that I still don't have a proper answer here. I'll keep looking.
In your original post, you had posted
$s = gettimeofday(); (which you seem to have edited and removed most of the initial entries). Now you say that you "want to compare that last entry to a previous timestamp".
gettimeofday() gives the current time in seconds from epoch. So why would you want to do
my $timeelapsed = $logTimeStamp - $s;? Wouldn't this result in a negative number getting stored in $logTimeStamp?
You may keep looking, but if the requirements are not clear or if you keep editing your original posts, then we may not be able to help you much.
