How can I make a perl program to wait

[ejaj]

Hi

How can I make my perl program to wait for some time before executing next line?.. e.g
$input=chomp(<STDIN<);
# I want to wait or delay here for 5 sec before executing next line &quot;print&quot;your inout is $input\n&quot;;&quot;
print&quot;your inout is $input\n&quot;;
...
Itz a very silly thing.. i m running Winnt.. and i m not finding the functin to do so. Can any1 help me?

The &quot;sleep&quot; function usually works - not sure on Win NT thought. Do 'perldoc -f sleep' at a command prompt to see the perldocs on &quot;sleep&quot;.
