[Swift-devel] Time/hires.pm used by coaster worker.pl is not available on Ranger compute nodes

[Mihael Hategan]

That, I think, is only used for the timestamps in the log file.
Otherwise the granularity of localtime() is seconds (and not very useful
for timing the worker script).

I'm curious whether there is a way to "only include it if it's there".
Essentially it re-defines the standard localtime(), so no other changes
would be needed.
