Take a look at this Quickie Alarm Clock thread. Nah! Your thinking of Simon Templar, originally played by Roger Moore and later by Ian Ogilvy	[reply]

Sometimes (gasp!) perl isn't the best tool for the job. A few times I've absolutely had to get up (especially at insane hours of the morning or night) I use `at` and `mpg123`, pick a good wakeful MP3, and crank the volume good and loud. czth	[reply] [d/l] [select]
