you have installed (with which version).

How about using bit fields to represent hour, minute, day-of-week,

We're going to check out another pub on our list of possibles for
social meets - The Windmill, 6 Mill Street, Mayfair (just off Regent
Street).

I'm getting older, again. This time I'm abandoning cosy Notting Hill
for drinks around my workplace in fashionable Hoxton. You're all very
welcome to pass by for a cocktail or two.
When: Wed 26th February 2002, 7pmish
Where: Grand Central, 93 Great Eastern Street, EC2A 3HZ
(Old Street tube
i think what i'll do is just store the crontab line as a single text
field, then store the next occurrence (using
http://search.cpan.org/author/PKENT/Schedule-Cron-Events-1.7/lib/Schedule/Cron/Events.pm).
then when it occurs, deal with the event, and then calculate the next
occurrence.
