Disadvantage:

 - you can wait for up to a minute before the mail gets processed.
   Although, with Schedule::Cron, you can schedule jobs every second

you should write something into the first-line of the code that looks to see if there's a job already running; and quits if there is.

the issue with that approach is that db blocking and long jobs can leave you with 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,etc cron jobs ; and your box eventually crashes

thats what happened to me, and why i just went for a persistant daemon. damn db locking issues.
