The file, with line-by-line blame, should be visible to you at <http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse/b/ext/Time/HiRes/HiRes.xs 
 >. On brief examination, the check-in comments seem to do a good job  
of saying why particular changes were made. As a general observation,  
Time::HiRes has been frequently and diligently patched to accommodate  
a seemingly never-ending stream of weirdness in how systems deal with  
high-resolution time measurement. Consequently, the code is pretty ugly.
