Cron & Progress Bar in OSX

[Alan Fry]

I have a MacPerl script I am trying to transfer from OS9 to OSX.

There are two problems: cron and a progress bar.

Regarding 'cron', the perl script is kicked off by an AS application, 
so the problem really is how to get the AS application to run at 
specific times.

The second problem is how to replace the MacPerl Progress Bar in OSX perl.

I would be grateful for guidance.
