I was thinking there needs to be a shared filehandle with a stream of time on it similar to the below, but with various time() and sleep() methods overridden.

How about just having a file with a time offset? Use PERL5OPT to automatically load up a module that overrides the various perl calls to return the normal result of the call modified by the offset. As long as you stay with Perl processes, that might be sufficient. Regards, David
