in reply to How to automatically execute a perl file....

as a side note, if you are using the at scheduler, or the scheduled tasks, i do not know how they will take to the command line of `perl myscript.pl`, so you may need to run it through pl2bat first.

    No longer necessary. If perl is in the PATH, and PATHEXT contains the .pl type, then you should be able to type 
      myscript

    and have the thing work.

    Incidentally I had some trouble with the command line to execute in the NT task scheduler. Here's what I'm actually using 

      C:\WINNT\system32\CMD.EXE /c "perl w:\Admin\scripts\end_of_day.pl 1>
+w:\logs\eod.log 2>w:\logs\eod.err "
