Windows NT/2000 built-in scheduler, the "at" program, will work, I
believe, but if your script is to run every 5 minutes, you might
simply use Perl's sleep command to time iterations of some loop.
That way the script's process won't have to start and stop
repeatedly. It will simply wait in the background until it's ready
to run again.
