in thread how to sleep-awake on perl script?


What do you mean you cannot run nohup? Run your interactive script this way:
    $ nohup myscript.pl arg1 arg2

When you need a break, hit Ctrl-Z and that will suspend your interactive program. Record the PID number and logoff. When you logon again in the future, do:
    $ fg PID
