If your "FTP folder" is actually on the NT box, Win32::ChangeNotify would be a good solution. You can basically set your script to wait until a change in the directory (i.e. adding files) happens, then run whatever code you need to. Less messy than playing with NT's dog-awful at command. Update: I knew I had some code that used it somewhere. Here's a simple example:
I put the while (1) for brevity. In my actual code, I test to see if the script should be "finished" by checking for existence of a semi-lockfile and do while (!$done). Guildenstern Negaterd character class uber alles!
