Subject: Sleep apnea
I would expect the following script:
use strict;
use warnings;
print 8*8;
sleep 3;
print 7*7;
To behave as follows.
1. print 64.
2. pause 3 seconds.
3. print 49.
Instead the behavior is:
1. pause 3 seconds.
2. print 64.
3. print 49.
Why is that, and how do I insert a pause in between these two print commands
(as an example)?
BTW, I did perldoc -f sleep. If it explains this behavior, I didn't
understand it.
