Betreff: How do you put a delay/pause/wait in Perl?
I've searched online, but it's difficult when I have no idea what the
command is.
I want to have a script execute, but if a condition is not met,
for it to
wait five minutes and try again. I would prefer to do this
without using a
'while' loop, because I don't know what that would do to the
system load.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thank you,
Shawn
