I would be greatful if any body can support
with code.
Heh... I think we've all got a few projects we'd like
folks to support with code. :-) Unfortunately, we
usually wind up having to do them ourselves.
I'd have to guess and say that you're going to be hard
pressed to find people to write code to implement your
concept, at least until you've already got a bunch
written. But don't let that discourage you. If you're
trying to learn Perl... as are we all... you'll find
people here very helpful.
Start off with little tasks you can do successfully,
and build from there. It's unlikely you'll be able
to tackle your master project all at once, but by
always trying things a little beyond your
present skill level, you get better fast. Read the
perldocs in our fine Library, maybe work your way
through the book Learning Perl. If
you're not sure where to find the information you're
looking for, use the amazing Super Search. And if
you get stuck, ask a question, either in the
Chatterbox (which comes with
instructions), or in
Seekers of Perl Wisdom.
When you do post a question, be sure to explain the
symptoms, not just the problem. The best mechanic in
the world can't help you if all he knows is, "my car
won't start", and programming's no different. Include
the relevant code, enclosed in <code>
tags, and the output, including error messages. And,
of course, describe your objective clearly.
Oh yeah... and before someone else says it, use
strict and the -w flag in your code. They'll
save you trouble sooner or later.
Welcome to the monastery, and good luck with Perl.

hi
i'm not about to start coding for you, but even with a fairly limited grasp of perl you should be able to create a simple autoupdater.
unless I'm missing something here all you would need to create would be a script that logs on to your main server, checks for the update file (opens it & reads it to check it is a needed update, or just datename the file) and then downloads it and inserts/overwrites where necessary.
run it on a cronjob at whatever time you want and hey presto, I doubt it would be more than 50 lines (and thats my appalling coding effort).
hope that helps (in a little way :))
