in thread How to make PERL Script run Automaticly?

Speak to your friendly sysadmin and convince him to add your script to the crontab list.

The alternative is that you run a script for a looooong period, most of the time doing nothing and that will use some resources that perhaps may be better used elsewhere.

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
