Lets assume the following piece of code:

#/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my $count = 0;
while (1) {
 open(FILE,"filename.txt");
 print FILE "$count - \n";
 close(FILE);
 sleep(100);
 count++;
}

If i wanted that piece of code to run at startup, does anything special need to be done with it, to run it from /etc/init.d

If the init script is as follows (cut down for example purposes):

case "$1" in
  start)
    daemon /usr/local/bin/myscript.pl
        ;;
  stop)
    #stop stuff here
        ;;
esac
