As usual, visiting CPAN (http://search.cpan.org/) and searching for 'scheduler' yields interesting results; Schedule::Cron seems to be one, but perhaps you'd be more interested in Win32::TaskScheduler. Depends on your ultimate needs - there are many others that may be suitable. The win32 one is basically an API to the fairly capable task scheduler in Windows (so you *do* have the 'luxury' even though it doesn't go under the name of 'cron').
