Subject: file tile causes high cpu utilization in Solaris
the cpu will spike to 100% within five seconds in Solaris when ran with example script. uname for solaris system "SunOS callisto 5.8 Generic_108528-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10". Compile options within time::hires seems to have resolved problem but we are unsure of the changes made.

[guest - Wed May 8 15:50:59 2002]: File::Tail criticaly depends on Time::HiRes defining sleep with sub-second periods enabled, because it needs those for reading moderately busy files. Without sub-second sleeps, CPU usage spikes, because sleep(0.5) becomes the same as sleep(0), in effect busy waiting on the file.
