in thread executing "at" from perl

Hm actually it doesn't look like CGI::Session automatically cleans up old session files? I was wondering how that would work.

This script is going to run on a server I don't admin, so I'm concerned about leaving these things lying around on his hard drive.

    All right just for the record I've isolated it to an OS level issue. I even became the apache user and executed the spool file from /var/spool/at and it worked! But in root's mail I'm getting (consistently when the job is run):
    This account is currently not available.
    Now I may not understand exactly what that means, but it seems reasonable to believe that that's the barrier I'm running up against. I do appreciate y'alls input, and I learned a few things so your time was not wasted :-)

      I wonder if that means that the apache user is not allowed to send (or receive) email? Normal cron/at output is sent via email. (What os is this?) (Do a test using echo, not rm.)
