Generally this is provided by the underlying system's scheduler. cron on *nix, something else on windows. Alternatively if you really want a scheduler built into a long running program you might consider using the 'alarm' built in, perldoc -f alarm I would avoid the second approach unless you really know you need it, and in that case you might look into frameworks for building system daemons that might provide similar functionality without dealing with the low level details. http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
