in reply to How to pause 10ms in perl

If you use Time::HiRes and export its sleep, you can sleep in fractional seconds. A 10ms sleep would work like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Time::HiRes ('sleep'); print STDERR 'Pausing:'; sleep(0.01); ## Sleep for 1/100th of a second (10ms) print STDERR 'done',"\n";

It's worth mentioning that this isn't guaranteed to be ultra-accurate.
