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

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.
