Does Perl have a wait command?

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

I am a bit new to Perl. Does Perl have
a wait command that will suspend on the command
for a determined amount of time? Does it take
a lot of CPU cycles counting something (clock
cycles, etc.)? Or does it pretty much suspect the program
(low CPU usage)?

Many thanks,
-T

What happened when you just tried to read the documentation?
See "perldoc -f wait"

that will suspend on the command
for a determined amount of time?

You are not looking for wait(), you are looking for sleep().
Details see "perldoc -f sleep"

You answer the question below. It described a function he was not
interested in.

You are not looking for wait(), you are looking for sleep().

You couldn't just give that information. No, you had to be a sarcastic
asshole first.
