Hi,

As Ultra stated I also think that a good approach would be using POE

I don't know if every AUV have one file associated, if it put the data into a database or whatever, but for the normal thinks, like asynchronus DBI connection, POE has components.

If every AUV writes on a file, you can easily create a POE Session which use the POE::Wheel::FollowTail so that an Event is called everytime the file has a new line/record.

Have some practise with POE, so if you have questions don't hesitate to get in touch, but first take a look at the webpage because there you find example code and also read the 2 documents on perl.com, results of searching here.

Update: just read that it transfers files, so ::DirWatch would be a good solution; you can assign every AUV a directory where it upload its data and having POE Sessions that control each directory.

Update: I'm agree with perrin's comment about cron and absolutely with KISS. Cron do a nice job and of course, if a 1 minute lag is not too long... take the simple option, but anyway you can make your daemon supervised, so when it exits it gets relaunched again, this is also simple.
