Subject: Getting a precise timestamp

I am new to Ruby and am trying to get the precise time (down to a fraction 
of a second). For example, I did this:

require 'date'
now = DateTime.now
puts sprintf ("The current time is: %2d:%2d:%5.2f", now.hour, now.min, 
now.sec+now.sec_fraction)

However, I discover that now.sec_fraction is always zero. Am I not using the 
right object?

Thanks in advance for any help.
