Delaying a loop for a specified time

[Anonymous Monk]

Is it possible to insert a delay value into a loop, so that it will wait for a set amount of time, before running the loop again?

Thanks.

Sure, try sleep.

[ChOas]

sleep(number of seconds to sleep);

or

select(undef,undef,undef,(number of seconds to sleep));

When using select you can use millisecond timing like
filling in 0.5 for a 500 millisecond sleep...

GreetZ!,

print "profeth still\n" if /bird|devil/;

Also try Time::HiRes for split second sleep and for much more features.
