I have to add the timerservice in existing perl project. That timerservice is must took one entry at runtime, and update the entry with timestamp in one text file if entry not exists. And, then it should update the timestamp for every one hour while project is running.

Example: entry: pdt1 In text file, pdt1 02/08/09 16:07:55

While project is running, first that will make a entry as like the above in text file. Then should update the timestamp for every one hour in that file

Tried with subroutine by calling &serviceTimer($entry) in starting of the project. But it is not allowing to run other modules. Because, serviceTimer subroutine should run independently until project execution is stop.

If anyone have ideas/knowldge on this, Couls you please share the same.

Thanks in advance, Kavitha
