Subject: Shell Script Help

#!/bin/sh
sleep 15
perl /scripts/create_graph.pl &
sleep 15
perl /scripts/create_graph_out.pl &
many more lines. etc.
Is there a way I can sleep random length to time before executing each but background each one so master script returns promptly. Something like.
sleep (random 1 - 300 seconds, perl /scripts/create_graph_out.pl) & _______________________________________________
