looking for parser of binary .JOB files (MS Task Scheduler)

resistance has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi

is there a parser for .job files written in _pure_ perl exists?

simple strings-like parsing give me what I need (command to run), but I wonder if parsing based of structure of JOB file already exists.

$ strings -e l notepad.job 
C:\WINDOWS\NOTEPAD.EXE
\tasks.txt
C:\WINDOWS
Administrator

$ hexdump -C notepad.job

Win32::TaskScheduler is a module with XS part, not a _pure_ perl. This module works only on windows, look at the required headers: http://search.cpan.org/src/UNICOLET/Win32-TaskScheduler2.0.3/TaskScheduler.h	[reply]

So can't you use it to re-implement in pure perl? _pure_perl is a goofy requirement. Either you want to complete a job, or it doesn't matter.	[reply]
