getCPUTime gets the amount of CPU time used by the program so far, in
picoseconds (though with limited resolution). Use getClockTime from
System.Time to get the current clock time.

I'm new to Haskell. I'm apparently misunderstanding something here.
When I run this program:
--------- module Main where
import System.Posix import System.CPUTime
printTime = getCPUTime >>= putStrLn . show
main = printTime >> sleep 5 >> printTime ---------
It produces this output: 1430000000000 1430000000000
or similar. In any case, both the numbers are the same. Should the second number not reflect a time 5 seconds later than the first? I've tried this with both GHC and Hugs, and both give me the same thing.
Thanks. Mike Benfield
