Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

In regards to a final judgment if indirect civil contempt:

What does " The former Husband is hereby sentenced to a term of indefinite length in the Duval County Jail subject to a delayed purge of $4,600.00 to be paid to the former Wife on or before November 5, 2010" mean?

Does this mean he goes to jail right now until he pays the money? Does it mean that he has until Novemeber 5 to pay the money or he will go to jail?

Thanks!!

The full amount must be paid on or before 11/5/10 or the Former Husband will go to jail. I hear Thanksgiving there is not at all like home! I wish you luck and peace in the resolution of this matter.

It means he has the opportunity to purge his debt - meaning he can pay prior to 11/5/10 or go to jail.
