Again, I recommend simply using fork(), in a loop.

a rabbit doesn't need a loop...

$start_time = time + 10;
... # one process
fork; # two here
fork; # four here
fork; # eight here
fork; # 16
fork; # 32
fork; # 64
fork; # 128 here
fork; # 256 here, load on something is high :)

select(undef,undef,undef,0.003) while(time < $start_time); #
wait for trigger
