in thread run a Perl program in Windows Task Scheduler

Hi there,
I have had the opportunity of having to do this recently. Does the script automatically send email without the windows task scheduler? If we see your code we might be able to help more. I have used MIME::Entity and MIME::Lite to send emails via perl script
my $mail = MIME::Lite->new( From=> 'me@me.com, To=> 'someone@cool.com', Subject=> "Hello email ", Type=>'multipart/mixed' ); $mail->attach( Type => 'application/x-tar', Encoding => 'base64', Path => 'C:\path\to\file.tar', Filename => "file.tar" ); MIME::Lite->send('smtp','server.smtp.com',Debug=>0); $mail->send;

    Hi, I'm having a tremendous amount of difficulty trying to get Task Scheduler to trigger my Perl script using Mail::Sender to send email with text attachments. It works WITHOUT Task Scheduler (simple cmd command of "perl mytest.pl). Frankly, Windows SUCK!
