Outside of putting in calls to <STDIN>; is there a way

sleep() can be given a number of seconds to pause for, so sleep(5) causes a 5 second pause.


Alternatively, if I
could make the little black screen a full screen, AND
keep the font size the same so I'd actually get double
the output on one screen, that would help too.  For
both, I'd be very happy.

This is a question about your terminal program, not Perl. Not knowing what it is, I can't help here.


Is there a way to write multi-line comments in Perl?

Sure. ;)
