You might be better off using an eventloop. For instance, here is a Glib based loop, but many prefer AnyEvent

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Glib;

my $main_loop = Glib::MainLoop->new;

my $timer1  = Glib::Timeout->add (1 , \&timer1 ); # 1ms delay
#1000 milliseconds = 1 second

my $timer2  = Glib::Timeout->add (600000 , \&timer2 ); # 600 sec delay

sub timer1{
    my $pid=fork();
     if($pid){
        run one process;
       {    
return 0;  #return 1 to keep going, return 0 to stop timer
}

sub timer2{
    my $pid=fork();
     if($pid){
        run one process;
       {    
return 1;  #return 1 to keep going, return 0 to stop timer
}


$main_loop->run;
