Microsoft Scheduler also sucks but not quite as bad as "at". I'd look into the
Windows Cron first but you can also run a daemon (below).
#your shebang
use strict;
use POSIX;
# Start the loop for the daemon....
while(1) {
my(@now) = localtime();
my($today) = POSIX::strftime( "%m/%d/%Y", @now);
my($time) = POSIX::strftime( "%H:%M", @now);
print "Running 5 minute jobs | $today | $time\n";
system ( 'perl yourScript.pl' );
sleep 300; # 5 minute intervals
}
