bummer.  since you're using a db, i'd use that instead of a flat file as i 
suggested earlier.

SR:Is anyone aware of a good module for scheduling an event that is not a
SR:command line event? I may just be able to use cron for this but I'm
checking
SR:if there is another solution. I want to schedule an e-mail to be sent to
a
SR:list of about 1,000 subscribers at a future time. I'll have the
SR:administrator entering a date and time in a web form and will pull the
time
SR:request out of the params. Also using the MIME::Lite module (there's a
~200K
SR:attachment going with it) rather than just piping to sendmail -t. Just
SR:wondered if anybody had done something similar and what has worked well
for

That's probably the option I'll end up using.
I just wondered if something more streamlined
had already been built into a module, even if
it does exactly what you just described using
a cron file. Maybe my first CPAN contribution
should be to write a Schedule::Sendmail module. :)

Yes, they're stored in a MySQL database table

Calander / Scheduling Code

2002-02-06 Thread Frank J. Schmuck

I need to develop an application that will be a modified schedule but
conceptually will look similar to what we see on the web for a TV
schedule.  That is time across the top (columns) with individuals as the
rows.

Does anyone know if there is sample code available to review as a
starting point?

Thanks
Frank

Anyone know of a module or method that will run a Perl script on a given
time each day? I need to FTP a file from one site to another daily and I was
hoping to automate it.
