Thanks, applied (reversely) to the development track as change #22747
This change will be integrated to the maint branch, which will lead to
a fixed document in the upcoming perl-5.8.5

This is functionally identical to Perl's builtin C<sleep()> function
for suspending the execution of the current for process for certain
-number of seconds, see L<perlfunc/sleep>. There is one signifanct
+number of seconds, see L<perlfunc/sleep>. There is one significant
difference, however​: C<POSIX​::sleep()> returns the number of
B<unslept> seconds, while the C<CORE​::sleep()> returns the
