Hi Michiel, Look at sleep() perldoc -f sleep Cheers, Kevin On Fri, Jun 01, 2001 at 01:53:17PM +0200, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) spew-ed forth: > Hi, > > Is it possible to use a commando in Perl that will wait for example 50 > seconds an then will continue ? > > Thanks in advance > > > Michiel von der Crone > Support Engineer > > Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > OMNIS SOURCE > Lozenberg, 6 Phone +32(0)2/721.54.10 > B-1932 Zaventem Fax +32(0)2/725.88.50 > BELGIUM http://www.source.be -- [Writing CGI Applications with Perl - http://perlcgi-book.com] You are all the Buddha. -- Buddha (last words)
RE: how to wait 50 second ?
Hi, Is it possible to use a commando in Perl that will wait for example 50 seconds an then will continue ? Thanks in advance [snipped] take a look at the sleep command sleep EXPR sleep Causes the script to sleep for EXPR seconds, or forever if no EXPR. May be interrupted if the process receives a signal such as `SIGALRM'. Returns the number of seconds actually slept. You probably cannot mix `alarm' and `sleep' calls, because `sleep' is often implemented using `alarm'. On some older systems, it may sleep up to a full second less than what you requested, depending on how it counts seconds. Most modern systems always sleep the full amount. They may appear to sleep longer than that, however, because your process might not be scheduled right away in a busy multitasking system. For delays of finer granularity than one second, you may use Perl's `syscall' interface to access setitimer(2) if your system supports it, or else see the select entry elsewhere in this document above. The Time::HiRes module from CPAN may also help. See also the POSIX module's `sigpause' function. hope this helps Ron
