in reply to Is there Win32 Scheduler Module?

Windows is not exactly renowned for its command line tools ;-) but AT is actually not too bad. It is a good one to know about even if it is not Perl.

C:\>at /? The AT command schedules commands and programs to run on a computer at a specified time and date. The Schedule service must be running to use the AT command. AT [\\computername] [ [id] [/DELETE] | /DELETE [/YES]] AT [\\computername] time [/INTERACTIVE] [ /EVERY:date[,...] | /NEXT:date[,...]] "command"
\\computername Specifies a remote computer. Commands are scheduled + on the local computer if this parameter is omitted. id Is an identification number assigned to a scheduled command. /delete Cancels a scheduled command. If id is omitted, all +the scheduled commands on the computer are canceled. /yes Used with cancel all jobs command when no further confirmation is desired. time Specifies the time when command is to run. /interactive Allows the job to interact with the desktop of the +user who is logged on at the time the job runs. /every:date[,...] Runs the command on each specified day(s) of the we +ek or month. If date is omitted, the current day of the m +onth is assumed. /next:date[,...] Runs the specified command on the next occurrence o +f the day (for example, next Thursday). If date is omitt +ed, the current day of the month is assumed. "command" Is the Windows NT command, or batch program to be r +un.
