Do you mean something like? `for ( 1 .. 2 ) { #do stuff here sleep 20; }` [download] Which will run the code in the block twice with a 20 second pause between runs.	[reply] [d/l]

I am currently trying this one now. Thanks for your help.	[reply]

Good that you're trying that one, because it's sleep, not wait ;-)	[reply]
Re: Re Execute Lines of Code by moritz (Cardinal) on Jan 27, 2008 at 12:09 UTC
`while(1) { code sleep 20; }` [download] (Update: s/wait/sleep/, shmem++)	[reply] [d/l]

If you only want to do the wait in between "codes" and not at the end, `my $times = 2; for (;;) { code; last unless --$times; wait; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
Re^2: Re Execute Lines of Code (wait?) by shmem (Chancellor) on Jan 27, 2008 at 16:38 UTC
`{ wait == -1 and print "no child left behind!" or redo }` [download] I'd use sleep. --shmem _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo. G°\ / /\_¯/(q / ---------------------------- \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."· ");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}	[reply] [d/l]
Re: Re Execute Lines of Code (redo) by ikegami (Patriarch) on Jan 27, 2008 at 12:57 UTC
Depending on what you are doing, `redo` might be a better fit., `LOOP: { try something; if (!success) { wait; redo; } }` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Unlike my brethern, I'd code it as `Routine(); sleep 20; Routine(); sub Routine { code; code; code; code; }` [download] If it was important enough to do twice, you might need to do it again, later on...	[reply] [d/l]
