I've noticed that you still can't sleep for fractional time in Parrot - perhaps not the most critical feature in the world :), I still think it's a 'nice to have'. I submitted a patch for this last year, which was on the road to acceptance:

Unfortunately I'm not up-to-date with the current dev tree, so apologies if this is out-dated by another op I don't know about, but if people still think it would be useful I can look at updating it for the current snapshot.
