Here's the skeleton of it:
----
unless (my $pid = fork()) {
do {
&SendEmailToUsers;
sleep 3 * 24 * 60 * 60;
} while (1);
}
print "Starting email daemon...\n";

That's all. This will run indefinitely, and every three days run the
subroutine SendEmailToUsers. You obviously need to add a lot more to
have a sensible daemon: you'd at least want to check to make sure it was
not already running when you started it, and provide a system to shut the
daemon down.
