[MacPerl] Faceless Applications, Non-ResEdit?

[Kevin Hemenway <info@totalnetnh.net>]

Is there a way, through MacPerl, to set an application as "faceless" 
(meaning, it doesn't show up in the process list)? Ultimately, what I'd 
like to do is create a script that runs faceless, without resorting to the 
instructions here:

(Thanks, RasterWeb). I'm just barely beginning to mess with the Mac 
specific parts of MacPerl for a porting project (see below / stop reading 
if your subject-line anal).

Porting project: Does anyone know of a open source cron implementation for 
the Mac? I know there is MacAT [1], which isn't opensource, and is 
shareware. I also know of T-Minus-Ten [2], the iDo Scheduler (included on 
8.5+ CDs), and a closed, dead (?) cron port [3].

Ideas? I already know the fallacies: memory hungry and large compiled app 
for those without Perl, faceless script won't help a non-faceless MacPerl 
for those with Perl, etc., but I want to try for the Sake of Trying (tm).
