# This script helps us test jobserver/parallelism without a lot of unreliable
# (and slow) sleep calls.  Written in Perl to get portable sub-second sleep.
#
# It can run the following steps based on arguments:
#  -t <secs>  : maximum # of seconds the script can run; else we fail.
#               Default is 4 seconds.
#  -e <word>  : echo <word> to stdout
#  -f <word>  : echo <word> to stdout AND create an (empty) file named <word>
#  -w <word>  : wait for a file named <word> to exist

# Force flush
