Hello Monks,

I have a new website(ASP.net driven) which need to run around 500 Perl (Mechanize & Parser) scripts. Here what the scripts do is, it go to another site, take some data and arrange in XML format (so called scrapers which uses www::Mechanize and HTML::Treebuilder). Server may be windows server(Windows Server 2008 or above). I got some suggestions like, running these scripts under cron may be a tedious job, due to the large number of scripts. So, I need a script running system(or script controller or script automator or script running mechanism or whatever the techies says) which can be used to automate the complete work(Timely(scheduled) run of scipts, then after completion, taking XML, validating & uploading to DB etc.. etc..) and also it should have some good features like, Error reporting mechanism, etc...

Can any Monks kindly suggest me on this. Thanks in advance.

regards,

Sullivan
