| The scripting has been going fine now that I've got a handle on Perlscript. But I've just got two brief questions to help simplify the code.
1. What is the syntax to run a subroutine in another subroutine? (To make a script modular in a sense and to cut down on size of redundant subrountines.)
2. What is the sleep/wait command for Perlscript? I don't want anything major, just a .5 to 1 second wait for two of my programs. | | Top |

| To call another sub, do something like this:
sub MySub
{
# do something here
}
#
# Sub Test calls MySub
#
sub Test
{
MySub();
}
As for sleep/wait commands, I did a very recent post on that subject. Basically you don't want to sleep, you want to use timers. eg.
#
# Send something in 1 second ...
#
$world->DoAfter (1, "eat food");
