Hi fellow Monks!
So, I have the following script for running a tool I need for my research through the web, since it is not available for download.
My question is, since the authors suggest that web users should allow a small interval between submissions, how can I tell the script to execute with a, say, 1 minute interval per run, so as not to overload their server?

use WWW::Mechanize;

($fasta, $type) = @ARGV;

#type -> euk, Gpos, Gneg
$outfile = $fasta.".SIGNALCF";
open OUT, ">>$outfile";

open IN, $fasta;
while(<IN>)
{
    if($_=~/^>(.*)/)
    {
        $id=$1;
        $seq=<IN>; chomp $seq; $mikos=length($seq); 

        $url = 'http://www.csbio.sjtu.edu.cn/bioinf/Signal-CF/';
        $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
        $mech->get($url);

        $mech->submit_form
        (
            form_number => 1,
            fields      => 
            {
                #textarea name | value
                S1 => $seq,
            
                #Radio button name | value
                R2    => $type
            }
        );

        $result = $mech->content();
    
        #case with NO signal peptide
        if($result=~/According to our computational result, your input
+ sequence/) {print OUT $id."\t0\n";}

        #case with signal peptide
        if($result=~/According to our computational results, the signa
+l peptide is:\<font color\=red\>1\-(\d+)\<\/font>/)
        {$sp_end=$1; print OUT $id."\t".$sp_end."\n";}
    }
}
close IN;
close OUT;
