Perform action or method after 5 seconds

What I want to do is have a visualforce page that displays a simple text message something like "This page will close in 5 seconds" I then want to run a method or update a variable or something that will close the page.  I have used a method where you nest javascript in an output panel to get the page to close just not sure how to do the whole 5 second thing.  I am pretty good with visualforce and apex but have very little java knowledge.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
