And of course exit is the function to call to end the program cleanly once its time has come.
CountZero A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James

A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))

use localtime() like
($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(time);
then compare the $hour with ur system time
then in subrouten write this module
sub kill
{
$pid=getpgrp(); ######## To get the Process ID
system("kill $pid");
}
