What CPU/Memory does a Wait cost?

[Reportor]

I want to run a cron job like without using a cron job. Let's say I wrote a
script, and then let it for 1 hour in each for loop. It could be in Perl
(just add a timer) or in unix shell (i don't know how to wait in shell
script)

If I do a "perl script.pl &", and let it just run in the back ground
forever.

I want to know it that will take too much CPU/Memory for the system and got
myself kicked out of the server.

Ask the server admin.

I must ever time get Admin's Review before they can place cron job for me.
I don't want to bother them everytime I change something.

Yesterday, I wrote a Super Proxy Pac Script in Perl and JS. I will profit
from it. Haha.
