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

Hi I was trying to use perl corn for my auto builds scheduling and is facing a problem on NT. May be it doesnt support the same on NT. So I have decided to use schedule at. I downloaded the pl from the site address as follow http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Schedule-At and while installing the same I am facing some problem. as below perl version D:\Auto\Perl\PerlLib\scheduleat>perl -v This is perl, v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread (with 2 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail) Copyright 1987-2000, Larry Wall Binary build 624 provided by ActiveState Tool Corp. http://www.ActiveState.com Built 13:01:23 Feb 6 2001 Perl may be copied only under the terms of either the Artistic License or the GNU General Public License, which may be found in the Perl 5 source kit. Complete documentation for Perl, including FAQ lists, should be found on this system using `man perl' or `perldoc perl'. If you have access to the Internet, point your browser at http://www.perl.com/, the Perl Home Page. on schedule at installtion D:\Auto\Perl\PerlLib\scheduleat>perl Makefile.PL Have D:\MySoftware\perl\lib\Config.pm expected D:\MYSOFT~2\perl\lib\Config.pm Your perl and your Config.pm seem to have different ideas about the architecture they are running on. Perl thinks: lib Config says: MSWin32-x86-multi-thread This may or may not cause problems. Please check your installation of perl if yo u have problems building this extension. Writing Makefile for Schedule::At D:\Auto\Perl\PerlLib\scheduleat>make Makefile:641: *** missing separator. Stop. D:\Auto\Perl\PerlLib\scheduleat>make test Makefile:641: *** missing separator. Stop. D:\Auto\Perl\PerlLib\scheduleat>make install Makefile:641: *** missing separator. Stop. please guide me if i will face any problem due to this and also the cause if possible thanks in advance Shashank

    To add to the above Have anyone tried any perl scheduler on NT platform Please??
      Have a look at http://www.roth.net/perl and download Win32::AdminMisc. I haven't used it for scheduling, but I have used it for dozens of other things. It has the following Schedule functions:
      ScheduleAdd() ScheduleDel() ScheduleGet() ScheduleList()
      $code or die
      $ perldoc perldoc
