Sleep for less than a second?

[Oldbitcollector]

Question:

I'm using the command "sleep 1" to pause a communication script I'm
working on..

Is there a way to pause for a half second, or quarter second instead of
a whole second?

Thanks
Jeff

Have a look at the "nanosleep()" function in Time::HiRes.

use Time::HiRes qw(sleep);

- 4-argument select, with no filehandles
- the module Time::HiRes, microsleep() or sleep(float)
