[MacPerl] Cron

[Sean Carte <SeanC@mediatek.co.za>]

Is it possible to use MacPerl to implement cron-like features on a Mac?

I've used Frontier to do this in the past, but would like to use MacPerl 
instead. All I've been able to find that's relevant is the sleep() 
function, but this seems to tie up the Mac. My idea is to periodically 
close files in order to back them up and then reopen them.

I'm sorry if this has been covered before; I seem to remember something 
on this topic. By the way, is there an archive for this mailing list?

My brain hurts!
