in thread How to sleep(), or use a while() in the background?
Well. After a bit more searching, I've decided on Proc::Simple. For the sake of brevity, I nearly went for firing a system sleep, and simply appending an &, to background it. But I'm not excited about firing any more system calls, than absolutely necessary.
I also found http://search.cpan.org/~dapm/perl-5.14.4/pod/perlfaq8.pod#How_do_I_start_a_process_in_the_background? a good read. Wish I read that before I started this. :)
