in reply to cron on Windows

*sigh* what about a cron; in perl?

UPDATE: Re PPS, oh native services? Then why ask in a perl forum? Although you could certainly use bcrond with one of the many available wrappers to turn a "normal" progam into a Win32 service. ( un, deux, trois, quatre )

    Thanks for all of the replies - seems like there are a lot of ways to go, with some trade-offs to mull over.

    While the at command would let me directly map over the cron entries, my gut feel is that Schedule::Cron or Schedule::At would do a better job of keeping everything together - then just need to get the SAs here to put one "run & forget" line in their RunAT scripts.
