Read and store the value as $offset, or something that makes sense to you.

When you read your (restarted timer) add your offset thereto.

wouldn't it be better to start a new timer when i freeze, stopit when i unfreeze and pull that off the original timer??

but can i SET the timer on a sertan time??

Mebbe - depends on what length of time it is that you care about, and which way you want to do the math. For your latter question , refer to the doc. If it don't take an argument, then you have no way of telling it where to start

As all you need is some addition or subtraction, and we have +/- operators, you got what you need to do the job as best I can tell.
