This should solve it in a robust manner:

my $actual_sleep = exists &CORE::GLOBAL::sleep    # already overridden
+ ?
                 ? \&CORE::GLOBAL::sleep
                 : \&CORE::sleep

Point is you are changing sleep globally, but some other modules might be trying to do the same thing already. (well ...)

If you install your override later, you'll be playing safe.

update

even more robust with defined instead of exists , see Haarg's comment in this thread for details.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
