Last time I tried to play with sleep it did not work well at all.

What I was trying to do is the following:

1. CTCP bot INVITE
2. sleep(3)
3. JOIN #channel
4. CTCP bot OP

What ended up happening is:

1. sleep(3)
2. CTCP bot INVITE
3. JOIN #channel
4. CTCP bot OP

Of course, since the bot was not given time to invite me, it all failed.

I cannot find a way to make sleep work in the right damn order, though I
must admit I am not one that messes with perl alot, I'm trying to learn it
better though :)
