or how about a real dramatic pause?
use strict;
my ($number,$mult,$result);
print "Enter a number: ";
chomp($number = <STDIN>);
print "Enter a multiplier: ";
chomp($mult = <STDIN>);
$result = $number * $mult;
print "The result,";
sleep(2);
print " you ignorant fool,";
sleep(2);
print " is: $result\n";
