Is is correct that dbms_utility.get_time returns a negative number?

I want to get the time in hundredths of a second.

SQLWKS> declare l_time number;
     2> begin l_time := dbms_utility.get_time;
     3>  dbms_output.put_line(to_char(l_time));
     4> end;
     5> 
     6> 
     7> 

Statement processed.
