Won't work... that causes the process to sleep, therefore not only does the
perl interpreter sleep, X-Chat sleeps as well.

A delay loop would also cause such a problem... X-Chat isn't running when the
perl interpreter is... so for as long as your script is doing things, X-Chat is
not.

At least it forces tight, fast code :)
