in reply to How to schedule an activity on Windows using Perl?

Windows has a built in scheduler similar to cron on Unix like systems, you can use this. If you want to control this via a Perl program (otherwise this would not be a perl question) you can use Win32::TaskScheduler.

    Im aware of the Task Scheduler in Windows but the problem is that I have around 500 files that need to be executed an Im hoping to write a Perl script to automate this, if possible. Yes, schedule all at different times. Thanks.

      Do you need to schedule all those 500 files during differrent times? Then I would suggest you to script it (in Perl, of course).
      If not, then the simplest way would be to add all those files (500 or how-much-ever) in a batch file (In DOS, you name the file with the extn '.bat'). You can then schedule this batch file using the Windows Scheduler or the Perl Module.
